Experimenting with Babies: 50 Amazing Science Projects You Can Perform on Your Kid Kindle Edition

Book emphasizes cognitive and behavioral tests that are performed non invasively. There is no information about surgical experiments intended to transform the baby into a post technological horrorbeast capable of dominating the globe. Perhaps this gap will be addressed by a sequel. In any case, this is acceptable if you recognize the inherent limitations of the content.

I started buying this book for friends and family who are reproducing or who have recently reproduced, mainly because the title makes me giggle and the reviews are good. Turns out that it is like crack for new parents who are already fascinated by every burp, wiggle, and wide-eyed blink that emerges from their offspring. It gives them more to do with the infant than just stare at it and make odd, high-pitched sounds. The only drawback is when they want to tell you all about the results of the experiments as if I have read the book and know what they are talking about. They seem so excited about it that I don't want to burst their bubble, so I nod and smile and think about how much sleep I got the night before, and how I went to see a movie at a theater without weeks of planning. Results may vary.

I love science and understanding why things work and how. This book explains so much and is in order by age. I flipped through it and its definitely caught my attention.Originally $16, so its worth it for sure!

Helpful takeaways following each experiment, but not every experiment is quick and simple. Some require making signs/posters for your baby to view, others playing clips of music or finding certain kinds of toys. In this period of total exhaustion with an infant and toddler, I had hoped they would be shorter and easier activities to fit into our days. I had hoped, too, that they would be activities that were more beneficial to baby (like exercises)--rather than simply satisfying my own curiosities. Without doing many of the experiments, I have read the takeaway following each one, worked to apply the recommendations as applicable, and stowed the book away on my shelf.

I wish I'd bought this right before my son was born. It has a lot of things that you can do when you're just getting to know your baby and they don't do a whole lot. Some things for older babies, but most activities are for newborns.

I bought this as a sort of gag gift for my future brother in law. It was a HIT! And after reading some of the "experiments" it actually is super cute and useful for a new parent. I am very happy with it.

Gave as a Christmas gift to my brother (a science nerd) as he and his wife are expecting their first child. The book is fun and informative. He thought it was hilarious but also learned some stuff and he told me he would definitely try some of the stuff out that's in the book. A fun gift for expectant parents.

This amazing book is a great tool for discovering all of the wonderful and unique characteristics we possess as infants that disappear as our bodies continue to develop. This is a great in facilitating bonding between parent and child. In that regard, I think this is a particularly useful gift for dads. All of the little tips and tricks you find in here will both delight you and leave you with some warm, fuzzy, feelings for you amazing little child.

Great idea, but disappointing in practice. The idea of little experiments with little ones is great, but most of the ones in this book need a bit too much setting up, are a bit dull, and some are not likely to have very clear results . Which is a pity, as there could be several more that would really brighten up the book. I find baby development fascinating. I did not find this book added to the subject much, if at all.

Most experiments are fairly high effort. The more interesting ones are as they're over the 9 month mark. If you're on your first child and have no help, then you'll not really have time to do most of these things as you'll be too tired!Some of the science is questionable too. It's ok for an interactive way to learn all the cool things your child can do.

All the things in the book require you to put some decent time in to see the effects. Some of which are month long endeavours.If you're looking for quick things you can do, then this isn't for you. Otherwise; it's okay.

This is more of a joke than anything but good fun and some weird tricks you can do like folding arms/tickling certain places to make muscle spasms... sounds weird and it is.

We bought this for our newborn having seen it in a famous TV program, some amazing little experiments that are fun and engaging, brilliant book.
