Make a "See Through" Seed Museum
A common kindergarten science unit is life itself. Is that rock over there alive or not? How can you tell? Well, when it's a seed (which looks like a rock), things get very interesting indeed. Here's a cool way for kids to put all this together using simple household stuff.

Make Like a Bird and Nest!
Ask your child how he thinks a bird makes its nest. Then tell him you are going to be like birds today and make your own nests out of natural materials like grass and leaves!
Make Mushroom Prints
This activity uses mushroom spores to make an imprint of the mushroom, and the result is very beautiful. It is an easy project for little hands to do with a little prep help from a grown up.
