The Box  Appleseed Lane has the cutest boxes.  They are very kid friendly and L knew it was his box right away. Information Card The card this month was a bit wrinkled from all the materials in the box.  It wasn’t a big deal at all.  This month’s theme was Electricity and Circuits.  The projects were Power it Up, Let It Flow, Static Magic and a bonus project Starry Night.  There was also information about a contest to win $50.00, by making a circuit with Play Dough.  C and L will work on the contest later this week. Directions All the directions to each project are on the back of the information card.  I like how they make good use of the materials without adding clutter to the box. Playdough, Seedlings Magazine, and Conductor/Insulator test Appleseed Lane included Play Dough for the contest.  Seedlngs is a magazine/book that is included in each Appleseed Lane box.  This Seedlings is a book that discusses electricity, circuits, and electrochemical cells.  This is a very informative book.  L is very fascinated about electricity and how it works.  L really enjoyed reading this book with C.  The conductor/insulator test will be used in one of the projects.
