When I was an Early Childhood Educator, one of my favorite activities to do with my class was Sand Painting. I was always amazed with the outcome and the children loved creating the images, which became 3-dimensional after it dried.
This activity is very easy to do and can be done with children of any [...]

Well, since I did a cheat sheet on volcanoes and I have talked about them a few times, I thought I would give you a how-to on building a volcano. This is actually a pretty fun activity and many kids can take advantage of this when they need a science project in school. [...]

Since Mother’s Day is only a few days away, I thought that I would post one final craft that you can do with your kids. I actually thought of these when I was at the grocery store and I was passing the flower department. There were small terracotta pots with paint brushes and paint sold [...]

You have probably seen this experiment before but it is one of my favorites so I wanted to share. If you can’t tell by the photograph, I do this activity often enough to warrant purchasing the big box of baking soda. I think it has something to do with the fact that I feel like [...]
