Keep the kids entertained when inclement weather spoils vacation fun or the 'kids' start their “I'm Bored” routines with this fun DIY activity book called The Dad Lab. The book contains 50 projects in the interesting realm of science and technology. The projects are simple and use materials found around the house. I can already see that the project “make slime with only two ingredients” is one my young grandsons would enjoy.
A fun way for mom & dad and grandparents to spend quality time with the kids in a way the kids would also enjoy.

Oh, Elf, what a wonderful compilation of fun you have offered. The Dr. Seuss coloring book is awesome. As a Debbie Macomber fan, I would certainly enjoy that coloring book. Either is also perfect for traveling. We always needed books (comics, magazines, coloring books, etc) in the car when we drove to vacation destinations that were 15+ hours away. The coloring pencils are much preferred in the car over crayons that will melt in the sun. I am quite certain that "The Dad Lab" would be equally as awesome and provide fun science projects for home. Excellent suggestions!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked my summertime suggestions for fun activities, Mouse. Thanks so much for your sweet words and visit.
DeleteThese look like wonderful recommendations. I think I’d enjoy “The Dad Lab” myself, even without kids!
ReplyDeleteI would have wanted that Dad Lab book growing up. I'm the kid who asked for a chemistry set when she was nine years old. Always the mad scientist. I love to give children anything that will encourage their creativity and feed their curiosity. Great ideas for summer fun.
ReplyDeleteMargaret and Diana, I can see you both enjoying 'The Dad Lab' activity book. No kids needed... just some adult fun. LOL.
ReplyDeleteLoving the Dr. Seuss collection! Too fun!
ReplyDeleteI, too, thought the Dr. Seuss collection was quite unique and fun, Tracey.
DeleteColoring books are always a hit. I like these new ones and will have to check them out for my next over-night with the Grands! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteColoring books have certainly come a long way, for sure.
DeleteOooooo, a Dr. Seuss coloring book ?! That is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI know, right? Thanks for your visit, Dawn Rae.
