Wands and Power Sticks
Ancient Tribal elders customarily made their own talking (or power) sticks, each one customised by its owner. When the chief of these tribes trusted an individual member of the tribe they would pass the talking stick to them and allow them to speak. So tradition says if you had your OWN power stick/wand then YOU have the power to rule-as you would be seen to be wise and commanding. Even the wood they carve the stick from holds its own meaning. Birch is for truth and new beginnings, oak is for strength and courage, and pine is for peace and harmony. Colours chosen for each unique design have specific meanings for the maker. For example, yellow encourages knowledge, while green offers harmony and healing. The beads on the talking stick are sentiments; reminders that the Great Spirit hears the message of the heart and the spoken word.

Teaching science the right way to young children! We know that not all science education is effective! If young children are taught science in the right meaningful way through play and storytelling they build a better understanding of science than if they are taught in direct instruction. During the classes we jump into our scientist roles and travel to an imaginary world called Supraland. At Kide Science we believe that imaginary is the key for learning.!
