Science For Girls
National studies show that overall, girls are missing out on their science education. To remedy this, science for girls has to be presented in ways they can readily relate to. The proper context will make the subject of science for girls attractive and encourage girls to explore the possibilities science has to offer. This may one day translate to a career in medical or behavioral science. A Fun With Your Dog Science Kit is a terrific way to promote science for girls. Girls are naturally interested in their pets, so why not put that interest to better advantage? This science for girls kit allows your daughter to test her dog's hearing with an ultrasonic whistle to prove whether or not dogs can really hear things we can't. Your daughter can also use this science for girls kit to examine her dog's personality by learning how to read his body language. She can give her own dog and her friends' pets a full personality interview with this entertaining science for girls learning toy. Spa Science is another perfect toy for promoting science for girls. Girls will learn the science behind making fizzy bath crystals, as well as how to make their own shampoos, healing face masks, spa lotions and more. Science for girls has never been so much fun, and it's just as easy as following a recipe. These science for girls kits are great for home use, but could also be a terrific meeting activity for Girl Scout Troops as well. The national Girl Scout movement is focusing on promoting science for girls this year, so these science for girls kits can make meeting planning a breeze. Why not make science for girls available to the special little women in your own life with one of these kits from SensoryEdge?

Therapeutic Breath Control Toys Aid Speech Disorders
Therapeutic breath control toys can give speech therapists another tool to help children affected by speech disorders. Therapeutic breath control toys that require children to blow an object into position to continue the action actually help them develop the lip and tongue motor skills necessary for articulated speech. A speech disorder can wreak havoc on a child's self esteem, so in many cases the services of a speech therapist are needed to aid the child's development. Everyone knows that when children are bored, they tune out and don't get all that they could out of their speech therapy sessions. Therapeutic breath control toys keep speech therapy sessions fun, and they won't even feel like they are working. Blow Lotto is one of our fun and exciting therapeutic breath control toys children will want to use at every speech therapy session. As a child blows a ball into certain holes, they match up pictures in the slots to the lotto cards in their hand. The first person to match all their cards is the winner. Children with speech disorders will be learning proper lip and breath control skills that they can naturally carry over into their speech patterns. A Kid's Turbino Blowing Game is at the top of the list when it comes to fun therapeutic breathing toys. Children must use breath control to move a propeller and make it stop at the right game space for play to continue. These therapeutic breath control toys are challenging enough to keep children working, yet fun enough to make the time fly. Try using therapeutic breath control toys to enhance the speech therapy seesions of all children with speech disorders.

This puppet theater is slightly larger to accommodate more players, but comes in a handy fold up style to still provide the greatest amount of space availability in class rooms and day care centers. Children will love the drama of closing and opening the curtains between acts and scenery changes. This puppet theater is almost as good as the real thing. A puppet theater encourages children to love literature by acting out the stories they read, and is a wonderful addition to class rooms and day care centers.
