He wants to try some of the Lego educational products, but he's also interested in chemistry.

We do simple things mainly because DS is just four. I try to choose at least one wait and watch type of experiment if I have to do something else and allow him to free play. So in case his mind wanders it goes to the experiment. we have zero tolerance for tantrums. I can't think straight when it happens so he can cry his heart out but only in his room. He can come to me when he is ready to stop crying and use his words or just needs a hug. Being consistent is the key with him.
