These are very fun! I love all the science for kids you can find these days.
Hi MaryAnne,
I’m glad you like the videos! My son and I watch about three dozen and then pick our four or five favorites. He finds a lot of them boring after about 10 seconds.
What great videos! My daughter is going to love watching them! 🙂
Hi Alison,
I’m so happy you like them! Thank you for your kind words! I hope your daughter likes them; tell her my son picked them for her!
