Water Fun
Explore water through math, science, and art
Materials
Directions
Exploring water can be a lot of fun! Try some of these ideas with your children:
- Boat Yard: Help your children build boats and rafts from craft sticks, Styrofoam blocks, aluminum trays, egg cartons, etc. Launch your fleet in a wading pool, sink, or bathtub.
- Number Scoop: Number baskets from 1-5. Float ten or more ping-pong balls in a dishpan. Let children choose a basket and try to scoop up the corresponding number of balls. Older kids can try using two scoops at once, and adding up the number of balls in the baskets.
- Sun Catchers: Use eyedroppers to drip watercolors on stiff clear plastic. Let the paint dry in the sun, then hang the art in a window.
With a Group
Hold a Water Carnival featuring some of these activities. Invite family and friends to participate.
