Keeping my kids entertained can be hard. I mean – sure lets sit in front of the TV all day watching shows – NOT. I want them to be engaged and learning as much as possible (especially when they are not in school), so I really limit their “plugged in” time. This means limited usage of Kindles, iPad, iPod, phones, TV, etc. I have been looking for fun and educational activities for kids that I an help them with and that they will enjoy doing. We have tried most of these and my kids loved all of them so I wanted to share these fun and educational activities with you.

    I love the updated water movement activity. Lettuce leaves are so much more exciting than carnations! Plus, I love the dry ice bubble activity! That one would probably be more for me to play with though hah!

    I love these fun activites for the kids. Great to teach them with while they can have fun to. Going to have to try a few of these with them. The water movement experiment looks really cool.

    These are very fun ideas! On summer break, we often hear, “I’m bored”. These are a great way to entertain the little ones while spending quality time with them. We are going to attempt the nature scavenger hunt this week. Thanks for the tips!
