Explore the world through science
|
Each day, young children are engaged in science through their play. Just like scientists, they wonder, try and then learn by interacting with the world around them. As a parent or guardian, you are the first and most important teacher in your child’s life.
By using Wings of Discovery® activities, you can nurture your child’s desire to ask questions, seek answers, build skills and develop positive attitudes toward science — fostering learning that will last a lifetime. |
