Let’s bring a science experiment to a winter wonderland! This simple and Christmas activity to do with young children, but I liked fizzing the magical Christmas Wonderland myself too. It is a simple way to make me feel happy as a child again (: What makes you feel like a child?

We are taking advantage of the fact that all of a sudden we have lots of ants in our garden by doing some science experiments. We made colourful syrups by mixing sugar, water and food colouring and put a few drops for our ants to enjoy. Then we were watching ants picking their colours and drinkin...

DIY toys for kids. Cardboard is an excellent material for a number of things. It’s cheap, durable, and comes in lots of different sizes. Plus, it’s easy to find. It’s great for making homemade toys for kids to play with. Here is a cool DIY rotating toy with a ping pong ball for you to make at home

This is an impressive but simple experiment for children. We did it with Alex about two years ago, so it was Max's turn now. But this time I added a bit of a twist though. I spread food colouring on the bottom of tea candle, lighted it and placed it at the centre of a plate with water. The good ...

We haven't played with playdough for a while. So this time we are adding pasta to it for some practice in engineering. You can add different varieties of pasta to make children even more excited about the project but I feel that in this case simplicity is the key. Children would get more creative...

Challenge of the week!!! How many coins can you stack on a popsicle stick held in your mouth?

British Science Week is happening now, and we are taking part by building the tallest tower with spaghetti and marshmallows.

Today's activity is all about space! The other day we were celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first-ever human-crewed moon landing by building the NASA Apollo 11 Lunar Lander LEGO set. We came up with an idea to use those bricks to create our own little spinning space ships.

A balloon-powered car is a simple and fun STEM project. Here, you will learn how to make your own by following a few easy steps. A balloon car is easy to make and requires no batteries or fuel. All you need to do is blow up the balloon and attach it to the wheels of your car. The air inside the b...

Want to get your kids engaged in engineering? STEAM Engineering Challenges are opportunities for children to learn about STEAM concepts through hands-on activities. But what if you've never studied engineering? How do you get started? This video will show you everything you need to create an exce...

We mixed dish soap with water in a big container to experiment with 3-dimensional shapes and bubbles

What child doesn't like butterflies? This butterfly box is easy to do and it is just beautiful. I put a nice background picture with flowers inside a box, tied a paper clip to one end of the thread and taped a paper butterfly to it. Then I taped the other end of the thread to the bottom of the bo...

This crystal snowflake is made by dipping shaped pipe cleaners into borax dissolved in boiling water. As the water cools, borax forms crystals that cling to pipe cleaners making this incredible Christmas tree decoration

Not only is this game an easy way to have fun with Max, it’s also a fun way to work on his oral motor skills

I am not sure how to call these things we have made from straws, but we had a lot of fun with them

A fun block duplication activity with lego duplo. When I build a model and watched Max duplicating it, it looked easy. But when we switched roles, I realised that it could be quite a challenge. You can see me putting blue block the other way round. Anyway, this is a great activity for any age ch...

Welcome to our channel! In this video, we’ll show you how to make Magnetic Slime with a simple, step-by-step tutorial. This fun and educational DIY project is combining creativity and science in an exciting way.

Max enjoyed another fun art project. This time we used a balloon for stamping. The idea was to use green and blue colours to make a little planet Earth, but Max couldn't stop after making just one so we have planets for everyone

The balloon rocket experiment is easy to set up and is definitely fun for children. We used two balloons and two strings to make a balloon race.

If you are looking for activities for babies or toddlers, here is an easy-to-make baby oil sensory bag

Breaking the Law of Gravity with a ping pong ball! If you take a bottle completely full of water and place a ping pong ball on top, you can turn the bottle upside down and the ball won’t fall and water won’t spill. Give it a quick Thumbs-Up if you like this

Alex knows that every time we do an experiment the result should be different from what he normally expects to happen. This time he said that water would not spill if we turn the cup upside down. So I asked him to do just that and water spilled. After pouring more water into the cup, I showed him...

Let’s make a cute papercraft! Using just some strips of paper, today we can make an ocean and fill it with fish. What type of fish would you put in?

We continue exploring a magnetic field. Alex could not stop laughing every time he picked up bunch of paperclips in the air. This simple science experiment takes no time to set up but there is something very attractive to children about it
