Science Toys for Gifted Children

By Carol Bainbridge, About.com

If you're like the parents of many gifted kids, you've got at least one shelf (or closet) full of toys your child lost interest in -- or had no interest in to begin with. Stop filling those shelves and closets and get your child some toys they'll love. Toys that fit into that group of toys are those that allow children to explore science.
