This slightly messy, but tons-of-fun tactile activity will cement the idea of the land and water as pictured on maps in your young learner's mind.

Can't make it to the beach? Bring the science of ocean waves home with this fun earth science-related craft.

Make "fossils" with your child to hide in the sandbox or at the park or the beach, to help your child explore his archaeological side.

In this fun activity, kids practice measurement and boost fine motor skills as they learn all about how fossils form and even make a few of their own!

Kids are sure to be entranced by the magic of the ocean when they create their very own ocean in a bottle.
