Construction Counting Fun!

Construction Counting Fun!

If you have a boy or girl who loves construction vehicles, then this activity is a fun counting activity!  Not only do young ones like using their front end loaders or excavators to lift up the beans, they also learn their numbers!

 

You can use uncooked beans such as I did, or anything that can be scooped up. Examples include rocks, beans, beads, food items, and others. Obviously, you do NOT want to use something small for children under 3 or children who still put things in their mouth.  Supervising the activity is important as well.

Mixing fun

If you’re looking for an activity for your little ones to enjoy and also learn try this mixing fun. You can also use whatever you have in your kitchen! Just as an update, the kids ask to do this almost daily they love it that much!

You need a container, preferably a tall see through one such as a large mason jar as shown. Fill the mason jar half way up with water.

Then you will need something to stir with (we grabbed a chopstick!)

Lastly, you need items to put in this mixture, so food coloring or natural coloring (we also used washable paint one time!

Coloring from beet juice etc.

Sprinkles can be used to see if they float or sink!

Ice cubes

Salt versus sugar-do they dissolve

Olive oil or any type of oil to see if it mixes with water

Croutons, cereal, some scraps from the compost bucket, lettuce leaf, onion (although you may want to hold off on too many food items with the quarantine right now!)

We even tried jelly to see if it would sink or mix into the concoction. Then have your child mix it real fast in a circle and see a cyclone happen!

Dish soap and the bubbles it causes is fun as well!

Pretty much try anything!

 

Vinegar and baking soda which you want to save for last! The acid base pair will cause a volcanoes explosion! We did those outside then to have a huge overflow!

You can keep adding more vinegar to make it continue exploding!  Just bring it outside lol. img_2709
