Some things are tastier than others, so be sure to check out the edible rating provided with every activity.

The format of this book allows you to find the perfect project for your family depending on your budget, the age of your kids, and how much time you have to spare. Additionally, every lesson includes a description of the science behind what happened to create the edible treat. Author and professional chef, Andrew Schloss has created a real gem in this piece of literature. If you have kids of any age at home, this book is a must-have in your home library. Your little ones will have a ball making a masterpiece out of Lick Your Finger Paint and older children will be amazed when they create Little Edible Water Bottles. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself licking your fingers and anticipating your next science lesson!
