Cool Baby Book: “Experimenting With Babies”

While every parent knows that babies provide their caregivers with seemingly infinite amounts of joys, challenges, and opportunities for so-called “teachable moments.” So why not combine all of those moments with the beauty of science? That’s precisely the sentiment behind Shaun Gallagher’s — a dad and former newspaper and magazine editor — latest book: Experimenting with Babies: 50 Amazing Science Projects You Can Perform on Your Kid.

Experimenting with Babies is a fun and informative guide to easy and illuminating activities that curious parents can do with their tots — from exercises that foster cognitive development to ones that encourage primitive reflexes to emerge. Every “experiment” is based in concrete research and provides a way for parents to bond with their babies while also getting to witness physical and mental development blossoming before their eyes.

Every “experiment” features hypothesis info and detailed instructions, as well as fun illustrations to guide you.

One of our faves? #22: “A Cappella Strikes A Chord,” which hypothesizes that babies prefer songs with just vocals and no musical accompaniment!
