Creating a home that's nourishing, creative, and fun
I've long admired sensory bottles and have been wanting to make a few of my own. There are so many incredible versions, but this time, I opted for a simple glittery bottle. We used sunshine and rain as our inspirations to make these gorgeous ...
What do you get when you combine science and art into a fun STEAM project? A color mixing lab! We continued our study of color by performing some experiments to find out what happens when you mix color. Disclosure: This post contains Amazon ...
I'm not sure if there's a kid these days that hasn't made a volcano. It's such a classic science experiment. It's fun to put together and it's fun to watch the eruption. Both of my girls have done this experiment before. In fact, they're old hands ...
Maybe it all started with the school science fair. I don't know. But, for some reason, we've gotten onto a science kick at home. We started with a few experiments from a new science book and now, we've found ourselves in the kitchen doing some ...
Will crayons melt in the sun? We set out to find the answer to that question one day with a melting crayons science activity. It took a bit of patience and some problem solving. But, in the end, our science brains found an ...
About 20 miles from our home is a wind farm. It's a hard working wind farm, which makes sense, because, wind is just a part of life in my hometown. We're much more likely to experience a brisk wind than a light breeze. Because of that, wind farms are ...
We got down to the basics recently with a STEM activity that is perfect for summer learning (or anytime), Marshmallow Engineering. Why is it perfect? It uses only a few supplies, it requires no prep time, it keep your kids' brains working, and ...
Summer is in full swing around here, but that doesn't mean we've shut off our brains. We've got plenty of outdoor play, plenty of free play, and plenty of reading. But, we're also planning plenty of fun (emphasis on fun) learning activities. This ...
It's a little bit science, a little bit art, and a whole lot of fun! We tried to see if we could mix colors through motion and came up with some awesome results. Our color mixing tops were simple to make and used supplies that you probably already ...
We once again combined art with science to make these fun craft stick bracelets. How do you get a craft stick to bend without breaking? Can you transform it into a new shape? We answered these questions with a fun ...
