Our first science experiment was pretty simple, just ice and salt. I had found a huge container of plastic beads of all different sorts at walmart for $6, so I simply froze different beads in different shaped containers so the kids could "rescue" their friends.
I had some packaging tubs left over from other purchases, so I used those to freeze the beads in. Then I gave Sweetie and Little Dude small containers of salt, and a paint brush.
Little Dude had way more fun eating his salt, but, well, what else is a 2 year old suposed to do??? Lol.
And do you know how hard it is to get both kids smiling at the camera, with eyes open, at the same time??? As you can see, I didn't manage it!!!
Anyways, it took them about 45 minutes, much more salt than I had originally given them, and lots of patience, but eventually, all new friends were rescued. Then they found the trampoline and that was pretty much the end of it.
As a starter science experiment, this one was pretty awesome. It even appealed to all their senses, all all parts of the experiment were child "safe". I say this because I was there to make sure no little friends were ingested.
Stay tuned to see what happens next... ;)
