Summer is half over here…. We are always looking for things to do that are fun… My little one really doesn’t like to leave the house much, so an
y activities we can do at home are even better.
This summer we’ve added Tinker Crate to our list! It’s a subscription service and has an activity each month as well as some learning activities. This month includes a lava lamp, last month we got to build a levitating pencil holder. We learned all about magnets, their poles, attraction, and More!
The kit came with a magazine with other activities to try, an instruction sheet with directions and the parts for the levitating pencil holder. The age range really started at 9 for the kit we were building but my little one – 7 years old, got a lot out of it!
This was a great way to extend the science from the school year. Kiwi Crate has younger crates as well as a Doodle Crate that I’m looking at signing up for. There is even a koala crate for ages 3 to 4 years old!
I can’t wait to try our lava lamp!
I am a SAHM/WAHM of three boys ranging in age from 16 to 32. We are working on saving enough for college at the same time as dealing with school and our older independent kids. I author a few blogs, including http://teched4kids.com. I have in the past taught computer information technology classes for the local university and taught workshops for kid's in technology education besides being the Kentucky State FIRST LEGO League Championship Coordinator from 2005 to 2008. I now work as a computer consultant, run a handmade home business, and am available for workshops. Life here is always an adventure!
