It varies so much depending on where you live. Here, in our city, there’s Clayworks. She brings clay. Kids make things. She fires them and then returns them. There’s also one that brings ceramics for kids to paint and then fires and returns them.

Our local zoo does in school visits. So do the pet stores.

I, myself, do art and science workshops for preschoolers, but I bet we don’t live anywhere near each other!

I’d say think of topics your kids are interested in or that you are wanting to introduce. Let’s say you want to introduce nutrition. Call dietitians and grocery stores – see if there’s anyone who would come out to do a program. Often by calling experts you’ll end up finding someone who does in school programming or who knows someone who will.

Our city also has many children’s entertainers: musicians, clowns, magicians.

Do some googling, some calling, and some Yellow Page searching. You’d be surprised what you’ll find!

Another thing our city has is an organization for preschool teachers. I belonged, served on the executive, and the information and contacts we shared with each other was phenomenal!!! Contacts with other preschool teachers is essential.

Any chance there’s a Mad Science near you? http://www.madscience.org

Kids to Space: A Space Traveler’s Guide $29.95 Kids to Space: A Space Traveler’s Guide In the interest of getting kids interested in science, math, space, ……..Lonnie Schorer invited 6000 students, in 99 schools in every state in the US and from Canada, to take an imaginary trip to space – each asking 3 questions prior to launch. This resulted in 18,000 questions, answered by 83 experts. So, this is: An art book: there are 146 student illustrations in the book and another 1000+ on the CD/ROM accompanying the book, set to Hawkwind soundtracks. A science teachers textbook: packed with science information in 94 different categories. A reading literacy book: a children’s story, in large font, precedes each chapter – introducing younger children to the material in the chapter in simple everyday terms. A career guide: a mini-bio for each of the 83 experts is included so that kids can see that one doesn’t have to be a rocket scientist to participate in the space effort. An adult book: The average adult does not know 85% of the information in the book. It would seem an investigative expedition, where children think about tomorrow, learn techniques for problem solving to reach a goal, explore the unknown and express their visions for the future is, as an educational exploration, as relevant as a land-based expedition. It is essentially the first private citizens guide to space – generated by children. These children are our future explorers, and we need to encourage and reach them now.
