Preschool Powol Packets

If you're planning an ocean theme for preschoolers, this is the place for you! Actually, you can easily adapt most of these ocean science experiments and activities for older or younger kids too (there are lots of science projects and activities that I've used with kids in kindergarten and 1st grade)!

Obviously, today we're talking about space, train tracks, and one of our new favorite books: Old Tracks, New Tricks .  This book is incredible...it has inspired LOADS of new train track creativity, experiments, story-telling, art work, and more! The "track tricks" and track-themed inventions inside this book are genius. I'm not even joking when I tell you that we read the book, dumped out a bag of train tracks, and found the kids obsessed with creating their own "track tricks" and cool designs for days. On the first day, they literally played with tracks for hours. Fun Fact: The author made sure that every track trick balanced on its
