Easter Science Activity
Materials
Plastic Easter eggs
Baking soda
Vinegar
Squirt Bottle - a water bottle works great but I love using these
Food Dye
Storage container or something to set the mess on, like a rimmed cookie sheet
Grab the egg carton and set half an egg in each slot. Before putting in Baking Soda in each half egg, put a drop or two or three of food coloring. Then, a spoon of the baking soda on top to hide the food dye underneath. In the squirt bootle, put vinegar and have your child squirt into each egg. Bubbles will start to come out (colorful ones) and they will love it!

Growing Plants
Supplies Needed:
Miracle-Gro Potting Mix
Plant pots
Kid-size shovel
Watering can
Planting the Miracle-Gro Gro-ables
You can decide to plant your pods in pots, or straight in soil, so start by using the shovel to fill them with potting mix.
Then, follow the directions on the seed pods and gently pushed the pod down into the potting mix until the rim of the pod was level with the mix.

RECYCLING
Benefits of Teaching Preschoolers about Recycling
Recycling with preschoolers is a simple way to teach them about taking care of their environment. Whether it be in the classroom, at home, or outside.
Talking about recycling also provides the opportunity for kids to learn about where products come from. How they are made. And how they can be reused.
This simple activity also promotes letter recognition, fine motor skills, and sorting by attributes.
Supplies & Materials
Recyclable items, such as plastic bottles, newspapers, cardboard boxes, cans, and so forth
Small or Medium sized boxes
Construction paper
Alphabet stickers
Tape
There are many ways to teach preschoolers about how to reduce, reuse, and recycle. One way is to bring kids along as you clean up a park or playground.
Another simple way is to create a recycling center for the home or classroom. To do this, gather the necessary supplies and invite the children/child to help make some signs for your recycling bins. Preschoolers can help make signs for the recycling bins. Have them place alphabet stickers on construction paper. Include signs for paper, plastic, cans, and glass. Tape the signs on the boxes and set up a recycling center near the wastebasket.
When the recycling center is all set up, invite children to help sort the recyclables into the bins. As they do this, talk about what is and is not recyclable and what happens to recyclables when they are taken by the recycling truck.
This is also a great opportunity to discuss other ways we can care for the environment by reducing what we use, reusing what we can, and recycling!
