Science experiments for kids are a great way to add some variety into your play and to introduce lots of concepts and topics in a fun and playful way. Today I’m featuring 10 awesome science experiments for kids from Preschool Powol Packets. This is just a small selection of the ideas on their site, and what I love about these experiments is that they are easy and approachable, science experiments that you can realistically try at home with your preschooler.
Science was never my best subject at school, but I can’t wait to try out some of these activities with the boys. They are very do-able and not intimidating, and they look like so much fun!
I’ve chosen a selection of 10 of my favourites from the Science experiments for kids on Preschool Powol Packets, including explosions and chemical reactions, natural science with habitats and nature exploration, exploring floating and sinking, density, colour mixing and lots more!
