We have a couple of DK books which are great. It's the "roundtoit" that we seem to be missing. LOL.

We soaked the egg in vinegar last holidays but sadly the egg is still raw inside so dont let the kids bounce it like a ball - well not inside the house anyway! We like experimenting with growing seeds in water, cotton wool etc,, in light, in dark etc adn they love experimenting with carb soda, cordial, juice, etc etc . Have you soaked the celery stalks in red food colouring yet and see how it draws up the red? Simple. There are some great science experiments books in our local library so you may find some too. Also some websites. LS SOunds fun for all.

Perhaps that's what put me off. LOL. I do like the simpler experiments though. DS hasn't been all that interested until now and I'm really pleased about it as it's broadening his interests a bit.<br/><br/>Madly Saving - you crack me up!!! LOL.
