*The children loved to play the sink or float game in our water table. You can do this in the bathtub also! Go on a scavenger hunt around the house and look for things you don't mind getting wet. When it's tub time the kids can place these items one at the time into the bath to see what happens! We liked to talk about what we think is going to happen first and make our predictions then talk about after!
*Making playdough and slime. There are so many different kinds of playdough and slime you can make and you can add food coloring and different scents to them as well.
*Nature mobiles: Find different sticks and fun things in nature hang them from string to a larger stick to display around your home. Talk about the different sizes of the sticks and acorns etc. that you find compare and contrast. You can also use any of these found nature materials to paint with! Who needs a paint brush right!!
* Any sort of scavenger hunt is always fun. You can hide letters around the house or numbers and give your children a piece of paper with the letters. They can collect them all and glue them to the corresponding letter or number on the paper.
* If you have sand at home or if you have adventured to the beach you can get some sand. This is always fun to play with inside and the kids can trace shapes, letters, and numbers with their fingers in the sand.
* Freeze small toys in an ice cube tray. Once frozen place them on a cookie pan and let the children using q-tips or eye droppers drop colored salt water on them and watch what happens!
