Under the Sea! Ocean Animals Sensory Bin

April 1, 2023March 9, 2015 by Stephanie Oswald

Ocean Animals Science Sensory Bin: Sea shells, fossils, shark teeth, and more! This simple sensory bin is a great way to get children exploring marine life through sight, sound, touch, and even scent! Both my toddler and my early elementary aged child enjoyed and learned through this hands on activity!

Sensory bins are something that we absolutely adore around here! They are simple to throw together, fun to play with, and just all around a great way to explore different concepts. For this sensory bin we received a Sea Life Specimen Center from Lakeshore Learning for review.

Exploding Dinosaur Mud!

Fizzing Dinosaur Eggs and Exploding Mud!

Exploding Dinosaur Mud: Science Experiments with bi-carb ROAR! These dinosaurs are stuck in the mud! They need a magic potion to set them free from their lava rocks!

Fizz, bubble, and pop—your child will have a blast freeing dinosaurs from the sticky mud!

This simple yet hugely exciting science activity will have your budding Paleontologist enthralled as the rocks burst open when exposed to the magic solution.

To make our rocks we used the same materials that we have used for our Love Potion #9, with a slight twist. Making these magical rocks is incredibly easy {so easy your kids can help} and a lot of fun…always a bonus for busy parents right?

Dinosaur Nests! Exploring Science and Nature

Dinosaur Nests: Exploring how Dinosaurs raised and cared for their babies with a fun and messy sensory science activity!

This science activity for kids is a great way to get outdoors and connect with nature while exploring how and why dinosaurs built their nests the way that they did.

This is also a fabulous activity for introducing the concept that dinosaurs laid eggs — it’s so easy to forget that those giant creatures started as babies too!

Excavating Dinosaurs from Ice!

April 12, 2022February 11, 2015 by Stephanie Oswald

Excavating Dinosaurs: Science, water play, and fine motor development all wrapped up in a fun, cool learning activity!

This Dinosaur activity was an extremely simple set up that kept my kiddos entertained and exploring science for over an hour!

We had an absolute blast with this activity! I thought that the kids might find it a tad frustrating as it takes forever to get those little dinosaurs out of their icy eggs, but it was the opposite! This activity was PERFECT for keeping them entertained for a good long time while exploring and having fun!
