Red light,Yellow light, Green Light game!Was so much fun. Great activity for teaching following direction, turn taking, and self control.

Fun sticky collage!! The children enjoyed how each collage piece stuck to the contact paper. You can purchase a roll of contact paper, tape the contact paper to the wall or window, and provide small items to stick onto the paper.

Sink Or Float
It was neat to see the children explore the concept of “sink” and “float” with natural materials. We invited the children over to predict which items would sink and which would float. The children used Velcro pieces to put their predictions on the poster board. The children were excited to test their predictions by putting the materials in the water. By making predictions, testing and observing the children are exploring scientific inquiry which is a core concept of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). The children are also able to compare and contrast the different materials and discover why certain items sink and others float.
