Gina Gendron, M.Ed on Instagram: "Justttt in case you need a fun filler tomorrow, save this one to try! We have done this with popcorn kernels, candy hearts, cranberries, bells, nature treasures, you name it! So simple, so fun, so magical every single time! How to: 👉🏽Fill a tall glass halfway with water. Stir in 2 tablespoons of baking soda until it is dissolved. 👉🏽Add bells (or popcorn kernels!) and slowly add in 1/2 cup-1 cup of white vinegar. Watch the magic happens!!! I will show some old step-by-step videos in stories! We have shared this many times over the years and all four of my kids love it! Bells are a choking hazard. Always monitor young children during use. You get to decide what is safe and manageable in your home. Always monitor children. . . . #stemeducation #
Cheryl Gavrielides on Instagram: "Hot chocolate play 🍫 I reset our winter play tray yesterday and changed it into a hot cocoa tray. ☕️ My daughter loves to pretend to make us drinks and pretend to have her own shop. So this hot chocolate play tray was definitely a winner. And will hopefully keep her and her cousins busy over the Christmas holidays. To make the sensory hot chocolate I used • dried barley • brown paint • a couple drops of hand sanitiser And then just mix in a sandwich bag and let it dry overnight. Then I added it to our play tray with marshmallows, cinnamon sticks and some of our wooden play tools. It’s so much fun and so easy/cheap to make! Don’t forget to follow, save and share if you enjoy our craft and play ideas! #imaginativeplay #sensoryplay #playtray #p
Science for Kids on Instagram: "Walking Water: A Colorful Capillary Action Experiment for Kids 💦 ✏️ Note: We used timelapse to speed up this science activity video, showing you the full process in just 15 seconds! In reality, this takes about 10 minutes, giving kids plenty of time to observe and learn from the process. ✨Science: The water “walks” due to capillary action, which is the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of external forces like gravity. The paper towel acts as a wick, pulling the colored water upward and transferring it between the two glasses. This happens because water molecules are attracted to the fibers of the paper towel (adhesion) and also stick to each other (cohesion), allowing the water to move through the towel. Materials: 3 gla

Science for Kids on Instagram: "Easy science activity to demonstrate surface tension for kids and adults 👩🏻‍🔬😀 ✨Science: Surface tension is a force that makes water molecules stick tightly together at the surface. When you place a card on top of a glass of water, this force helps hold the card in place. If you gently put a small object on the card, the surface tension keeps everything balanced and prevents the card from falling, as long as the weight is spread out and doesn’t break the water’s surface. #scienceforkids #stem #steam #kidsactivities #kids #moms #scienceathome #scienceandgiggles #surfacetension #actividades"
Science for Kids on Instagram: "🎈+📌 Why doesn’t the balloon pop when you push a pin through the taped area? ✨Science: Balloons are made from rubber, a material made of long chains of molecules called polymers. These polymers are stretchy and flexible, allowing the balloon to expand when you blow it up and return to its original shape afterward. However, when a sharp object like a pin pierces the rubber, it tears the polymer chains apart, causing the balloon to pop. Adding tape to the balloon holds the polymer chains together and spreads the force of the pin over a larger area, reducing the stress on the rubber. This prevents the tear from spreading quickly, allowing the balloon to stay intact. #scienceforkids #scienceandgiggles #balloons #scienceexperiment #actividades #kids #stem #st
Easy & Low prep learning activities for kids | my_busy_kid on Instagram: "Science is so fascinating, isn’t it ? And every science experiment that we do with our children gives them the opportunity to be more curious and observant even if they are 3 , 4 or 5 yrs old . Which means we should be doing a lot of science activities with our kids , even if they don’t understand the whole concept behind it they still are learning a lot . THINGS YOU WILL NEED - 1. Cotton rounds ( the ones that we use to remove makeup) 2. Food coloring 3. Whole milk 4. Dish soap HOW TO DO IT - 1. Trace a star on cotton round and then cut it 2. Grab a plate and pour some milk on this plate 3. Add some food coloring to this milk (5-6 drops ) 4. Take the star you made above and dip it in dish soap 5. Now put this
