Science: Toy Rescue!

Apr 16, 2020 | ,

Need an outdoor activity? We have the perfect little science project for you! A toy rescue! Freeze a few toys in a bowl and grab a few things around your kitchen to experiment with!

We experimented with vinegar, water, baking soda, and salt. Feel free to add color to your liquids to see different colors mix!

This is a great activity to ask your child “WH Questions” – What do you think will happen? When will the ice melt? Why does____ work better than___? What happens when ice melts?

WH Questions promote conversations and allow your child to think about a response!

What toys are you going to rescue?!
