Science toys and kids in India

[njskeptic]

Came across this guy's website who makes toys out of trash/cheap stuff for kids and creates interest in science in the process. I wish I had more time to do stuff like this instead of being a toy's R us slave for my toddler !

Very Cool!

I bookmarked it.

Fantastic!

My six year old god-daughter recently asked me to be her dad, since her biological father isn't in the picture.  I agreed, and her mom and i have just arranged that Sunday afternoons will be our scheduled father/daughter time.  I'd like to have some sort of interesting sciency project planned each week if she has nothing special to do in mind.  This page will be a great resource!

Along similar lines, check out this page of science toys you can make at home.

Also, science made simple is a good resource.

Another great project is the steam powered toy boat.

Anyone else have similar resource pages?
