Plants, animals, weather and the things around a home make up a child's first science, and this 64-page environmental studies book starts there.
Tasks cover the body, family, food, seasons, common animals and everyday objects, each introduced through a picture a three-year-old can name before being asked to colour, circle or match. Nothing assumes reading ability, so an adult reads the short prompt once and the child does the rest. Working through a page takes only a few minutes, which fits the attention span the book is pitched at.
Reasons to pick it up:
• Early environmental studies topics such as body parts, food, weather and animals
• Colour, circle and match tasks that need no reading from the child
• Short single-page activities sized to a preschooler's attention span
• 64 pages in a paperback that fits easily into a school bag
A sensible first science workbook for parents and nursery classrooms, published by Golden Minds Publishing House and stocked at Boipoka.
