*ad/gifted We were sent the box from Mud and Bloom for free, to put through its paces and test, in exchange for writing the review. All opinions are honest and my own* Nature is important to children’s well being and happiness, as well as it being important we all need to connect to nature. Nature play is the best way of …
Our little lady has a fascination with all things sparkly, crystal like, and remotely scientific. So, one day she came to me with a picture and asked if we could grow our own stalactite. Here is our step by step guide of how to do it. Step By Step Guide To Grow A Stalactite: First of all you will …
This month’s Whizz Pop Bang magazine is called “Sugar Rush – The Science of Sweetness”. As usual it is jam packed with fun facts and activities, but the main “doing” tasks this month were three low sugar treats to make. With exactly three to make, it helped me immensely as there was one for each child!! First up was our …
Reading a post on another blog, I discovered there was an easy way to add pond life to our garden. We could make a mini pond. My trio love pond dipping, and AcornSTEM’s post was fantastic with its step by step guide. It was a real incentive to try and do this myself. I researched it a little more first, and came …
The snow has melted, (it’s forecast again for tomorrow night, but we will ignore that!!), the first few spring flowers are peppering our lawn, (although the snowdrops are still hiding!), and the temperature has risen to +2 degrees…..springtime is coming! Or I am trying to pretend it is, and search out the signs that soon we may be able to …
This week our theme is the Spring Equinox. With that theme in mind I wanted the trio to have some fun with spring rainbow science, for our science topic of the week. Our little lady is rainbow obsessed, so naturally the mini men have a huge interest in them, and I’ve grown to admire them with a renewed passion since …
Our bird science activities are based on learning about the life cycle and the habitat of our garden birds (very similar to UK garden birds). We have chosen three so that we were not rushed, but there are plenty more to peruse over on our Pinterest page. The first of our bird science activities involved making a …
For this week’s science topic, I asked the children what they would like to look at. They chose water, and more specifically ice. This topic of water and ice science never fails to fascinate them. It has some good criteria making it a fun science topic. It can be messy, the experiments generally work (always a crowd pleaser!), and pipettes …
Evergreens are our nature curriculum theme for the week. We have used them to study, sketch, do craft, and now we have done some evergreen science. We hope you like our ideas and fancy trying some at home 🙂 The first evergreen science experiment involved examining them thoroughly before we destroyed our supplies in other experiments! …
To compliment this week’s Nature Curriculum topic of earthworms, we decided to have some fun doing earthworm science. There are lots of ideas on this topic, but our earthworm science was kept to three tasks. First task of our earthworm science was to examine them under a magnifying glass. Our little lady’s worm was very receptive …
