My Mini Scientist - Mother Goose Time

Mother Goose Time offers ample opportunity to learn about every subject you can think of for preschoolers.  Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, Bible, Reading, and of course, Science.  This summer we will have a whole month dedicated to Science, which I am pretty excited about, but Bubbles, Boats and Floats had quite a few awesome experiments we did last week.

This first series of pictures is of an activity called Bubble Sock.  While he was eating breakfast I cut the bottom off of a plastic bottle and put a sock over the top, which he was very curious about, but I was quite vague in answering his questions.

After breakfast we did the activity. 


Little Guy "reading" the instructions

Dipping the bottom of the bottle in the bubble solution.  He has no idea what is going to happen next.


SO many bubbles!!! 
This was really fun.  When he first blew in the bottle the bubbles just fell off the end of the sock and he didn't notice what was going on at all.  So I took it from him and showed him what was happening.  After that he was pretty excited.  It was all fun and games until he sucked IN instead of blowing OUT and got a mouth full of bubbles.  He was not impressed with eating bubbles, but was still mad that the activity was over. 

I am not sure if he had more fun blowing the bubbles, or watching them fall on the floor.


Our next experiment was called Bubble Science.  We did something similar back in December with Fizzy Ice, but he wasn't particularly interested.  Back then I realized that if I left out the food coloring, he could do the experiment himself, rather than just watching me.  It was a big hit this time.  I put baking soda in 11 of the muffin tin spots, and filled the last one with vinegar.  I don't think you need a lot of explanation here.

It was really cute to watch him, he had a really hard time with the eyedropper at first, he liked to put it in, squeeze it, take it out, then let go.  He picked up on the idea after I showed him a few times.  He was very sweet, and initiated taking turns with me.



I love these simple science experiments.  For adults they are silly, but for kids they are educational and entertaining. 

Mother Goose Time is provided to Little Guy and I free of charge in exchange for sharing our experiences (and experiments!) with everyone!

Manipulatives Monday GIVEAWAY from Mother Goose Time - closed

Giveaway closed! Thank you so much to everyone who entered, I really appreciate it! I have excellent news!  Today is Manipulatives Monday, and Mother Goose Time  is giving away a great prize!  One lucky winner will receive TWO bags of manipulatives!  Mother Goose Time will chose the prizes, but I assure you, whatever they send will be a lot of fun for your children! Manipulatives are a big hit in our house.  Every month we get two new bags of manipulatives, and every month Little Guy asks if he can play with them before the month starts.  The answer is always no, but he tries every month anyways.  During the month we use them for the assigned activities but after we are done with the curriculum, I let him add them to his toy collection. One thing that is in almost every box is a set of counters.  These are often in the shape of animals, which are Little Guy's favorites.  They are used for a variety of activities, and are alwa...

God Made You Just Right by Jill Roman Lord - A Review

Most of the books I review are for adults, but I got a chance to review God Made You Just Right, which is a board book.  From the back of the book: You're brilliantly created, and there's no one else like you!  With simple, rhyming text and whimsical illustrations, this book is a welcome reminder for little ones that God created each of us in just the right way. I love the artwork, it is colorful and engaging, which should catch the attention of small children, but still nice to look at for adults.  The text is encouraging and has a good rhyme pattern, which I always appreciate in books for small children.  It isn't a story, but poetry telling children that God knew exactly what He was doing when He created each part of each person.  I love that it talks about the things you uniquely need to be able to fulfill God's plan for you. At the end of the book is Jeremiah 29:11, which gives scriptural support to the rest of the book.  My only...
