Baking Soda and Vinegar
It's that old science fair classic -- a baking soda and vinegar volcano. Whether your child has never made one or made a million, this project is always a blast.
Use Your Backyard as a Math and Science Lab!
The garden is a place for growing flowers, chasing butterflies - even impromptu tag. But you can slip in some math and science learning without drawing too much attention to yourself.
Create a Weather Mobile!
If you have a budding meteorologist in the family, treat her to this special art activity. Have your child make a funky mobile inspired by the weather outside and learn about seasons, the environment, and art in 3-D!
Healthy Food Hunt
Send your preschooler on a hunt for some healthy foods as she learns about which foods are good for her and which ones aren't. This is a fun activity that is chock-full of nutritional value!
Experiment with Invisible Writing
Here's a project that will inspire both spies and scientists alike. Your child will draw an invisible picture that appears as if by magic when exposed to heat!
How Do Mirrors Work?
When kids are young, they're fascinated by their own reflections, and it's no wonder mirrors are amazing tools! With a few household items, your child will experiment with the properties of light and play a fun and informative "making whole" picture game.
Create a Clay Flower Press
Show your preschooler how to press flowers into a modeling medium to discover the wonders of simple clay play!
Learn Gravity with Parachute People
Let your child think she's being naughty with this fun activity. Create your own parachute people using a handkerchief and lightweight figurine. She'll have so much fun that she won't realize you're sneaking in a science lesson!
Make Mud Brick Buildings
Young kids love the tactility of mud, and chances are your preschooler has already gotten into his fair share of mud adventures. Why not join in the fun (and make it educational while you're at it)?
Use Pumps to Move Water
Your child knows that when he brushes his teeth in the morning, he needs water from the bathroom sink, but does he know how the water gets there? Your child will defy gravity as he explores the forces that move the elixir of life.
