    I just Googled "icky science projects for preschoolers" and saw some fun ideas you might want to try. I have to go now, but you can Google that and research for fun, gross science projects that might be a real hit with boys.

      I have 4 boys within months of each other (2-3 yes old). It's in sane! We barely get through most days. That are more active/crazy/challenging than when I had a classroom of 12 two years olds that were boys and girls.

        I have 7 boys and 5 girls in my child care program...my room arrangement and activities do not gear toward any particular gender. Right now, the kids in my care intermingle together without regard to gender. I have two boys of my own, ages 11 and 13....In my opinion, boys are less dramatic and much easier to reason with. Girls can tend to be moody.....but I have a dcb4 right now that is very moody as well so that disproves that theory :confused: ::

          I have one boy and 6 girls. The boy I have right now is my best behaved off them all. I have had boys in the past that I could just not handle. One was a bully and the other one obsessed with gun play. I ended up terming the gun play one and the bully left for school. He was sure a handful. I've also had boys that were well behaved but very busy. I just incorporated as much outside time as I could. As long as they had that time they did really good with circle time, art, and sitting down activities.
