Did you know that you can start Science with kids as young as toddlers? Here are some really Awesome Science Toddler Activities that are both a great introduction to the fascinating world of Science and are also age-appropriate.
What are some examples of science activities for babies and toddlers?
At an early age, science can be a fun and engaging homeschool activity for infants and toddlers.
For babies, activities like bubbles and sensory bottles are great ways to help them explore the world around them. As toddlers begin to understand more, you can introduce activities such as sorting objects by size or figuring out which items sink or float in water.
Additionally, there are materials like magnets that can be used for teaching about attraction and movement. Even with young children, homeschooling can be a wonderful opportunity to share the excitement of discovering new information through science!
