There are so many opportunities to explore the science of nature in the spring. The whole world is coming back to life. The trees are budding, flowers are blooming, color is bursting out everywhere. I have compiled a list of wonderfully fun and educational activities for you to do with the kids this Spring. Also with Easter coming on Sunday, I think you will have lots of candy in the house. Why not conduct a few experiments with candy? That way you won’t have to eat it all. I’m really excited about the Peeps play dough.
