We are checking what would happen with coins if we add vinegar to them

This is how we turned two circles into one square. Geometry magic!

This is a perfect activity to help a toddler to get used to the idea of toothbrushing. It is super fun and it shows the need of brushing teeth daily. I printed this picture of teeth and put it inside a clear plastic envelope to draw funny-looking bacteria monsters on it with whiteboard markers. M...

How to make handwriting fun? Montessori writing tray with sugar is an easy-to-make and fun activity to teach a child how to write letters. Alex could write letters with a pencil quite well, but he just couldn't resist the sensory part of the activity.

Alex just loved finding words on these rotating blocks. It took me some time to come up with the best combination letters for each block (1 - pcrf; 2 - euai; 3 - tgnd), but then in just a minute, we had this fun educational toy. Every time Alex found a real word he had to write it down. I can’t b...

This activity focuses on recognition of child’s very own name. It’s very special to them and they feel so proud to be able to recognise or even spell it. You can use anything you have at home to cover letters, like, stickers, stones or in our case beans.

There comes a time in every parent's life when times tables learning comes up. So this is my second video in Math with LEGO series that shows how to explain multiplication in a hands-on and fun way

This car parking number activity had a huge success with my transport-obsessed 3-year-old Max so much so we practised counting in two languages. I cut labels to make small stickers with dots. On a plain piece of paper I numbered parking spaces for toy cars so Max could match count the dots on car...

Chores can be fun - this is what Alex learn with Foldie, the educational t-shirt from MadeByHelga. Pictures on the front of the shirt transform into different pictures once the shirt is folded correctly - it's like a clothing puzzle! Each t-shirt is made of 100% Organic Cotton and hand printed by...

To get my children excited about practising math concepts I use LEGO bricks. Today we are learning FRACTIONS and how to add and divide them in a fun, visual and hands-on way

Alex tried to put filled with water balloon inside the jar, but he couldn't. So we heated the air inside the jar and it expanded. Once we put the water balloon on top it, the flame went out and the air in the jar started cooling and shrinking back to its old size. But the balloon didn't let any m...

You may have seen before like someone sets grass or an object alight using a magnifying glass and the sun. But can those two things really create heat? Why not become a scientist for the day and do this fun experiment to test it out for yourself. All you need is 2 balloons, a magnifying glass and...

We already know how to poke a balloon without popping it, but this time we are making a hole in a bubble. We have prepared a bubble solution by mixing water and washing up liquid, made a frame from a wire and tied a piece of a thread in a loop. Then we dipped the thread in the bubble solution and...

Here’s something that’s really amazing, but it also takes a bit of skill and patience too! How can you pick up a ball with a glass without touching the ball itself? Place the glass over the ball and then start spinning the glass around in a circular motion. Once the ball starts spinning inside th...

A fun demonstration how the primary colours mix and form the secondary colours. Thanks to the fact that water doesn't mix with oil we can observe how primary colours separate back into layers after mixing. For this activity water is coloured by food colouring and baby oil is coloured by oil based...

Do you know how mixing paint and mixing light are different? Alex is experimenting with torches to see what colours he can get by mixing light. Have a look at LEGO DUPLO characters' shadows, they are completely different colours to torches! Shadow is exactly the place where colours mix together c...
