5 Fun Science Experiments for Kids
We all know the best way to encourage kids to keep learning all summer long is by giving them something that’s both fun and educational, right? Well, Sweep Tight knows that science experiments help kids stay sharp while also engaging their imaginations! She shares these Fun Things for Kids to Prevent Summer Brain Drain like a recycled kite or starting a hydroponic garden!
Did you know that your kitchen is full of fun science experiments for kids? Your cabinets and fridge houses a veritable lab just waiting to be explored. Confessions of an Over-worked Mom does some of that exploring in her Kitchen Science Experiment. I’ll be honest, I wish this experiment was around when I was taking chemistry! It would have helped me a lot!
Whether you are using the cold weather outside or making the ice blocks in your freezer, kids will enjoy the Dino Dig Ice Excavation from Sweet Lil You. Encourage them to imagine that they’re exploring the frozen landscape of the Arctic as paleontologists! Ask them to tell you what kind of gear they think they’d need, what they would call their dinosaur if they discovered a new one, and so on. Simple fun science experiments for kids like this open up who realms of imaginative play.
Snow is one thing we definitely have plenty of where I’m at right now, so I can totally relate to the inspiration behind A is for Adelaide’s Science, Sensory and Snow. She came up with a few really science experiments for kids to do when they’re trapped indoors. I think the first experiment is super cool!
2 Moms and a Blog shows how using a few paper towels can transfer water from one place to another. I tried this once, but totally messed it up. I think I had way too much water in the cups. I’m going to try it the way she shows and explains it. Her experiment was definitely a success!

Thank you so much for sharing my post. Off to check out the others. Shared!
Those all sound like fun. My kids love doing science experiments at home.
My middle daughter is all about science experiments at home! Right now her favorite is cornstarch and water and playing with the liquid/solid concepts!
That water transfer experiment is just too cool. I did that with celery but I love this rainbow bridge idea.
Ok, they all look fun but I would want to do the tie-dye one myself (dinner napkins, hey??) They could turn out very cool! Thanks!!
Those look like some really fun science projects. I definitely want to try some with my little guy! Thanks for sharing!
Oh yay! I love it Thank you for sharing my post!
my boys would love all of these! Thanks for sharing!
now these are fun and cool activities.
OMGoodness…that upcycled kite looks really cool. My nephew would love to do something like this. Pinning this for later!
I did know the kitchen is full of fun things to experiment with, woot! I love that you wrote a post about it. This kind of thing is right up my son’s alley!
What a great way to keep the kids entertained and learning about science at the same time. I love the water transfer experiment.
my grandson will love these
Great ideas !
You actually make it appear so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to
be really one thing which I feel I might by no means understand.
It kind of feels too complicated and extremely large for me.
I am taking a look ahead to your next submit, I will attempt to get the hang
of it!
What great ideas, my grandson is really interested in crafts such as these. The first i think we will try is the water transfer experiment.
I love this Chicago Museum of Science and Industry is offering up a fun and FREE online science program called Summer Brain Games that will keep kids learning this summer and prevent the “summer brain drain.” and will definitely be looking into it. Thank you !!
oh these are great! Saving this list for some years down the line when the baby can participate in such fun 🙂
