My children love mazes and LEGO, so why not combine the two. It took me just a few minutes to make one using LEGO DUPLO bricks and ping-pong ball, and we were ready to begin the maze challenge! The curious thing was that after completing the maze Max (my younger child) was rebuilding it to make ...

Ships in Star Wars often travel at the speed of light. But how fast is it really? If I could travel with a speed of light, I could travel around the Earth 7 times within one second. Light moves at the fastest known speed in the universe and here is fun experiment how to compare the speed of light...

This experiment looks simple, but a lot of science is involved here. We are making a chemical reaction to change the combined density of our bottle with a balloon. That makes it float to the top with all the heavy weight of paperclips.

This video shows highlights of our holiday in Antalya. It was mainly relaxed beach-time-type holiday because we worked non-stop for a long time and the whole family needed a full reset. I am glad to say that by the end of our trip boys completely forgot about the home they have to return to

The science will amaze you if you just look close enough to things that surround you. What do you think would happen if you put hot and cold water in one container without mixing? Would "hot-air-balloon" principle work underwater where we heat water instead of air? We have done two cool experimen...

We are comparing how difficult it is for Alex to draw a picture of his brother using his hand versus his foot (:

This fantastic new book in our collection shows how the human body works in a visual and interactive way. If your child wants to be a doctor, this pop-up book is a must. It is called The Human Body: A Pop-Up Guide to Anatomy.

If you're looking for a fun and fidgety way to pass the time, try making a fidget with just paper. There are many different ways to create your own fidget, so find one that you enjoy!

When we are mixing vinegar and baking soda, we get a foamy reaction that produces carbon dioxide. You can't see it, but we can actually fill a glass with it because carbon dioxide is heavier than air. When I pour concentrated carbon dioxide onto candle flame, it pushes oxygen away from the candle...

What child doesn't like to bash things with a hammer? So I made a surprise activity for Max this morning and he loved it. I used a piece of foam packaging from last night delivery, wooden sticks and a toy hammer

Heating up the air inside a plastic bottle with hot water and then cooling it down with cold to see how balloon reacts

Comparing numbers up to 6 with regular dice would be too easy for Alex, so got him 20 sided ones

As a wise robot once said: “Bleep...Bloop”, which simply translates to ‘Snip snip...scissors beats paper’. This fun robot activity helps children to practice cutting along the lines and while switching directions. The skills used for this task are essential for those needed to complete everyday t...

If clear gel balls are submerged in water, you cannot see them. It is how Alex did his trick in the previous video and it is what makes this activity so fun for Max

You would need pegs, marker and paper to make this activity

It's incredible how versatile this beautiful rainbow set is. Alex used it in a variety of creative ways and build amazing structures.
It's a high-quality toy that is cut from a single piece of wood by hand and painted with vibrant non-toxic paint.

This is fun funnel experiment that proves that an empty bottle isn't, in fact, empty and to fill it with water we need to make sure that air can escape. If a funnel is properly sealed to a bottle and a lot of water is poured into it at once, water should just stay in there and not go through to b...

We have made a spinning top from a marker and an CD for this art project. Science lovers will appreciate how we can actually track the motion of the spinning tops

A day without science would be un-BEAR-able! So here is a sweet and simple science experiment, using those delicious gummy bears, that you can try at home, today! During this activity, children can become mini scientists and begin to make predictions about how each gummy bear will react to differ...

Parents can take their children’s mathematical skills to the next level by incorporating them into meaningful activities. This cute activity might be one for you. You can use it in your home or in the classroom, and it encourages children to take care of others while also reinforcing math skills.
