Little Labs: Cranes Kit by Thames & Kosmos is a beginner kit that encourages children to turn their everyday observations into experiments. Build cranes and learn how they lift heavy loads at construction sites. Experiment with different types of cranes and pulleys. This science kit comes with a 16-page full-color guidebook as well as everything your child will need to conduct experiments. Ages 5 and up.By Thames & Kosmos

Intro to Engineering welcomes young children to the field of engineering with 25 experiments and building projects in five sections. By engaging in hands-on activities, children will learn how engineers apply their scientific and technical knowledge to design machines and devices. Start by learning some engineering basics with experiments on levers, forces, and pulleys. Build simple devices using these basic components. Move on to explore engineering on land by building vehicles with wheels, such as a race car and a wind-up car. Then, investigate engineering with air and in the air by building a helicopter, a pinwheel, a parachute, a glider, a balloon rocket, and an air-powered carousel. Then, build a diving bell, a sailboat, and a paddle boat to experiment with engineering in water. Finally, find engineering in your own home with experiments modeling the telephone and television. With a 48-page guidebook, Intro to Engineering teaches engineering fundamentals with step-by-step, hands-on experiments and building projects. Ages 5 and up.By Thames & Kosmos
