Turn your baby into a 50‑in‑1 science project kit!

Experimenting With Babies: 50 Science Projects You Can Perform on Your Kid shows parents how to recreate landmark scientific studies on cognitive, motor, social and behavioral development — using their own bundles of joy as the research subjects.

Each project includes instructions on how to conduct the experiment at home using ordinary toys and household items as props, an easy-to-understand explanation of the experiment's significance, and suggestions on how parents can incorporate these principles into their interactions with their child.

Mom and Dad can begin experimenting on the day their baby is born, and they can continue to test hypotheses well into their child's toddler years.

Covering everything from recognizing faces and sounds to depth perception and fine motor skills, this fascinating book is perfect for parents who are curious about their baby's growing ability to understand and interact with the world around them.

Experimenting With Babies will amuse and entertain parents — and the whole family. With the book's help, you can experience the thrill of scientific research from the comfort of your own living-room laboratory and find out what happens when the empirical meets the adorable.
