Kind Words Sensory Lesson Friendship Activity

By -

This sensory lesson includes a kindness activity for kids that is short and sweet,  and makes teaching kindness a beautiful thing! Learning to use kind words with our friends is one friendship lesson that I think we can never cover enough...kids always need reminding (sometimes adults do too)!  You will need these simple supplies for the kindness activity: cotton balls, course sandpaper, cup, Should I Share My Ice-Cream by Mo Willems Directly teaching good friendship skills, like using kind words, serves two purposes: 1- You can refer to the lesson when someone forgets or needs reminding, and 2- These skills are not intuitive for all preschoolers. This is a perfect age to bring empathy and kindness to their attention and help them cultivate these skills! You can use this lesson plan exactly as I did it with our kiddos, or adapt it to fit your group! 1- Read  Should I Share My Ice-Cream  by Mo Willems.   {Image below is an Amazon Affi...

Science Experiment: Elephant Toothpaste

Update: "Elephant toothpaste" is a science experiment that I used to do with my high school students.  It is a strong multi-sensory demonstration that goes great with a lot of chemistry concepts. It is also very popular with preschoolers and homeschoolers!  The internet loves it too! It has now been read by more than 3.9 million people! This was the post that started the trend on science activity sites across the internet and "irl!"  Thank you for being here...I hope you enjoy it as well!  💕  This exciting science experiment works great in a discussion on reactions, as a demonstration, or as an actual experiment.

Edible bubble science experiment with apples...loads of fun, a great lesson and science project, and a delicious snack! My 2-year old and I love making smoothies for snacks. I like to just drink them, but she likes to use a straw. She usually drinks about half of the drink right away...and then has to make some bubbles with them. I decided to capitalize on that obsession with an apple-themed bubble science experiment! (And of course, it's edible! Our very popular pumpkin bubble experiment uses normal bubbles, but I found that really young preschoolers and some older toddlers love to blow bubbles too...so I designed this science experiment for them!) Kids love bubbles! It's just part of who they are! This science experiment feels more like playing games with your food, but the fact that it is all edible makes it even more exciting! You can use this activity as a chance to talk about bubbles, surface tension, water tension, surfactants, and more.  Blowing and ...
