Fun and Educational Science Experiments to Do With Your Toddler

At Home - Beansprouts Pre School

Little children are the most curious human beings on the planet. Almost everything for them is a new experience that they look at with wonder and amazement. At Beansprouts, we let children take the lead by following an exploratory learning approach that helps them craft their own experiences and discover their own areas of interest.

The unique 360-degree curriculum offered at Beansprouts puts the child at the center of the learning process and integrates the outdoors as a ‘third teacher’ that eventually builds a love for learning.

• Have a conversation

Whenever you introduce your little to something that is new to them, make sure they explain what they think is happening. Follow that up with questions to help your child get a better understanding of the elements at play.

• Outdoor Science

Some of the best science experiments and adventures are experienced out in the open. Take your children out often for walks for them to witness nature’s elements and feel connected to nature. Question your kids about the different colors they see and the smells they pick up along the way.

• Be a part of the learning

Learning can become a memorable bonding experience for parents and children if done together. Not knowing the answers to all the science experiments your child takes part in is the key to enjoying the adventure together with your little one.

Now that you know how to introduce science to your kids, here are some fun and easy-to-do science experiments you can indulge in at home with your little one.

1. Create a Rainbow in a Jar

This experiment uses basic materials like water, dish soap, and food coloring to create a rainbow in a jar. You can add different colors of food coloring to the water and watch as they separate and form distinct layers in the jar. This experiment is a great way to teach kids about the science of color and how light interacts with different materials.
