Space BINGO {FREE}

By -
I am soooo excited about how these space-themed BINGO games turned out!!


They are perfect for learning the names of planets and include all the awesome benefits of board games (like developing a functional one-to-one concept, practice taking turns, finding patterns, matching, and more)! Besides having loads of practical educational value, it's also a ton of FUN!


I made the space-themed BINGO boards in two sizes: one for preschoolers who have a shorter attention span (the 9-squares size) and one for preschoolers who can play a little longer (the 16-squares size). AND, as a sidenote, even my "older" elementary aged kiddos had fun playing with the preschoolers...it really is a family-friendly and mixed-age-friendly game!



I also included six different game boards (in both sizes) for classrooms, groups, and co-ops! This makes it the perfect small group activity! If you have a larger class, you could divide the kids into groups of 5-7 and let them play BINGO with each other. OR, you could give each child one of the blank boards (also included!) and have them cut out all the space pictures and paste them onto the board in an order of their choice...then you could play as a whole group!

You could also print out two sets of the space calling cards (the first two pages) and play all sorts of matching games with them!

The pictures in the 16-space BINGO game include the 8 planets in our solar system, a spiral galaxy (like the Milky Way), two asteroid belts, a rocket, sun, and more!

Science Experiment: Elephant Toothpaste

By -

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. We've also done seasonal twists with "elephant toothpaste" like making it in a pumpkin and using it for " reindeer toothpaste !" To use it as a science project, perform it once with your child, then ask your child what might happen if you changed the amounts or left out an ingredient.  Any time you experiment

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 Affiliate Link:} D

Crazy Cool Giraffe Science Experiment

Do you know what color giraffe skin is? Today we're using a capillary action science experiment to make our own giraffe skins in this fun giraffe science experiment project! (Read on...I'll tell you the color in a moment! AND I have a few more fun giraffe facts at the end! Anyway, go on and make a guess before you see the answer!) Fun Spot  Giraffe  Fact:  There are four different giraffe species:  the Masai Giraffe, the Rothschild Giraffe, the Somali Giraffe, and the Nigerian Giraffe.  Each has its own unique spot pattern.  Even more unique, every single individual giraffe has a different spot design.  Just like fingerprints on people and stripes on a zebra, spots on a giraffe are unique in every individual! Giraffe skin is mostly grey. (Were you right?) It's also really tough and thick.  The coat is a shade of tan with brown spots or patches.  Male giraffes actually get darker as they get older! To make our "giraffe skin" we're going to us
