Science Activities
These (older) toddler and preschool science activities are perfect for children who like to observe, experiment, and ask why! For children under the age of 2, please see "Teeny Tinies."
**You are responsible for ensuring that each activity is safe and appropriate for your child.
We believe that science fosters children's curiosity, observation, focus and exploration.
Simply by asking why, children can make sense of the world around them and develop a passion for learning. Science is everywhere and can be encouraged through playing in the dirt, grabbing a magnifying glass and looking up at the sky.
To further encourage their learning, we offer fun, free science activities tailored to children of all ages. With Play Connect, every child is a scientist!
