Which part of the brain is in charge of creativity? What is the smallest human muscle? Take a trip inside the human body and discover the amazing systems that allow us to move, breathe, and speak. After reading about everything from the digestive tract to the cornea, kids can assemble their own plastic skeleton and view the systems of the body in a layered cardstock model. With 20 fact cards, 2 sticker sheets, and a double-sided poster, this interactive kit is a perfect primer for learning about how the human body works. 

*******************************************

There's nothing more fascinating than our own human bodies...just ask any kid! Adventures in Science: The Human Body, from Silver Dolphin Books, is a superbly crafted, educational and fun activity set that introduces children to the wondrous human body. My four year old niece, Little A, loves learning about what goes on inside the human body and she has had such a great time with this set.

This interactive set includes an informative and engaging book that explores all the key parts of the human body, 20 fun fact cards, two sticker sheets and a double sided poster that kids can use to learn about and create their own body systems, and finally, kids can put their own plastic skeleton together. Created for children, the information provided is easily understood and accessible. 

I was amazed by just how much Little A was able to learn and understand from reading the book and playing with the fact cards, and how accurately she was able to place the body parts stickers on the poster by herself.

With Adventures in Science: The Human Body, hours of fun and expertly presented educational materials are combined to provide an awesome interactive experience for both kids and adults.
