Estimation
This is a great activity for estimation. Children can trace their hands, and then guess how many fruit loops it will take to fill their hand. Once they have made a guess, they can put the fruit loops on their hand and count to see how close they were to their estimation. To get a copy of the estimation hand out, Download Here!
The Human Bubble
For this activity you will need bubble solution, a small plastic pool and a hula hoop. This is a fun way to show children what it actually feels like inside of a bubble.
Water Walk
For this activity you will need one cup filled with colored water, a piece of paper towel and an empty cup. Place the filled cup on a higher level. Put the paper towel in the filled cup, as close to the bottom as possible. Put the empty cup below the filled cup, and put the other end of the paper towel into the empty cup. Check the empty cup throughout the day to see if the "water walks!"
Mixing Colors
This activity is great for Kindergartners! Make 3 different cups full of colored water; blue, red, and yellow. Have one large cup that can be used for mixing. Have them chose two colors at a time, and blend them into the larger cup. You can have your child write down their data, or even show it by making color blotched on a piece of paper! Example: blue scribble + yellow scribble = green scribble.
