Summer break is coming to a close and that means it's time to start school again! Some kids may LOVE school and others are sad to see their vacation come to an end. Here are some fun activities that are sure to make both groups of kids happy!
Rainbow Foam Play
This mess-tastic project is a great sensory activity for your younger kids. Make sure to use dish soap so you can convince the little ones to wash their snack bowls. Recipe here.
"Royal Gems" Crayons
Crayons were definitely made for jeweling--but you can also try some other cool moulds for this colorful activity.
Alphabet Slime
The fun and stretchy way to get through the alphabet. Learn how to make it with your kids here.
Make Ice Cream In A Bag
Scream for ice cream...made in a Ziploc. This method will provide a basic and DELICIOUS chemistry lesson.
Obstacle Course
You can substitute cabbage with white flowers, but no word yet on the experiment's compatibility with kale. Instructions here.
Suminagashi
This painting (and totally radical) technique will allow your kids to create "modern art" for your growing gallery wall.
Tape Ball
So here's the gist: create a wonderful web out of masking tape and apply point values based on difficulty. Construct a ball from any type of paper. This game should be a staple at Chuck E. Cheese.
