Tips for Math and Science Fun With Your Preschooler!

Interested in getting your preschooler's math juices flowing? You can turn math and science into games with this list of places to go and things to do!

• Bake a cake together and observe/talk about how the mixtures change from powders to liquid to solid. Show your kid how to measure quantities of sugar and flour, and show how four cups is more than two cups.
• Put a tulip or daffodil in water with food coloring and observe how the water travels up the stem and into the petals.
• Make a bird feeder out of a milk container and observe the different birds that visit. What are their colors and sizes? When do they come?
• Take a nature walk and record the different kinds of bugs you see or collect a variety of leaves. Observe clouds and notice differences in the ones that bring rain or thunderstorms and the ones that don't.
