Plastic Egg Educational Activities for Kids

March 24, 2017 By Thaleia 3 Comments

Since Easter will soon be upon us it’s a great time to think about what to do with all those plastic eggs? It amazes me how many are on the store shelves each year to be bought when I know millions were sold last year! Where did they all go? I bet many landed in the trash can after Easter weekend:( I own quite a few sizes of plastic eggs but I bought them on clearance 3-5 years ago. We re-use our plastic eggs year round for fun activities from Math to Science to Scavenger Hunts.

Maybe you are fresh out of ideas for some educational activities for kids. I have gathered up some great things to do with plastic eggs long after Easter weekend that will keep kids entertained all year long.

Free Anatomy and Human Body Resources

March 20, 2017 By Thaleia 2 Comments

My middle son, Big Red, is obsessed with the human body. It probably helps that he is a 1st grade boy who is almost 7 years old and has a younger brother who is 3 1/2. Lil’ Red is sorta potty training so lots of “body and potty” talk happens at our house. I wanted to capitalize on this with giving both Big Red and Lil’ Red some Science lessons involving Anatomy and Human body. Anatomy and Human Body Resources

This post is filled with over 30 free anatomy and human body resources for all ages. Tons of free printables, unit studies and even some videos and games!

Do you have fond memories of going out to recess to play or playing at a park on a bright Spring day? I do remember the simple structures that my elementary playground had. We had swings, a concrete tunnel, merry-go-round, see-saw, and a soccer field at our daily disposal. We were afforded the opportunity to climb, swing, run and spin to our hearts were content each nice weather day from Kindergarten to 6th grade!

Worm Compost Bins

We first learned about vermiculture aka worm compost bins when I was pregnant with Big Red! We attended a program through a local county parks program. We learned what worms eat and which ones were the best for composting, Red Wigglers. We got to measure our worms and begin a compost bin. The program coordinator gave each child a plastic tote with a lid. Each tote has pre-drilled holes to allow air flow to occur.

Supplies Needed:

Plastic bin with lid

Small drill or Dremel tool

Hand trowel

Garden Gloves

Dirt

Worms

Food Scraps

Newspaper
