Hello, my name is Emma and I blog at Science Sparks, which is a blog is packed full of easy and engaging science activities for children of all ages, using materials and equipment you probably already have around the house.

I’m very excited to be guest posting at Inspiration Laboratories today with some fun activities perfect for toddlers.

Summer Science for Toddlers

Oobleck is brilliant for sensory play and this frozen, kool-aid version not only feels great, it smells delicious too.

Make your own bubble mixture and wand to make giant bubbles, this is great fun for kids of all ages.

Freeze fruit juice into ice cube trays and make your own slushy drinks. This is great for learning about melting. Try leaving the ice cubes in different places to see where they melt the fastest. You could even make different colours using different combinations of ice cubes.

We loved these baking soda ice cubes, just add vinegar and watch them fizz.

Sinking and floating is another fab activity that’s brilliant for toddlers. Let the child choose what to test, for older children you can ask them to predict which will sink and which will float and ask them to record the results in a table.

What are your favourite preschool science experiments?
