This activity involves water so it’s always a hit with children! There are multiple ways to do the activity and, even though you’re doing the same thing again, to kids it is a new activity. This morning Lillian wanted to know if some metal balls would sink or float. So we took them into the bathroom sink to find out. We have carried toys into the bath tub to test the theory, put kitchen utensils in the kitchen sink and, this summer, outdoor toys (including bikes!) in the swimming pool! We talk about if the items are lighter than the water, have air in them, and so forth. We’ve even found if we put enough water in the pool or tub and lay real still our bodies will float!
When you have a two year old boy and a four year old tom-boy, every day is an adventure! Thank God for children, patience, staying home, and extended family! Here are some cheap, fun, easy, and simple learning activities you can do with your young child. Remember, just have FUN with it!
