Science Explorers Play Lab
In this activity pack you’ll find a series of fun, creative, and curiosity-sparking science sessions designed especially for early years learners across three themes:
Forces and Motion
Prepare for an energetic, messy, and fun-filled session!
Children will use cars, marbles and pendulums to create dynamic, large-scale artwork – all while exploring the science of movement and forces.
Junk Modelling
This creative session explores recycling and everyday materials through play and creating art. Children will learn about different materials, properties of their materials, why we recycle, and how they can help protect the environment – all while building their own sculptures from recycled items.
Nature Pictures
Head outside on a ‘mini nature adventure’ and collect leaves, sticks, flowers, and other natural treasures. Once your mini adventure is over, head back indoors and create beautiful collages and nature prints.
