Mermaid “Whirlpool”

As stated before, Nova loves mermaids and sensory bottles! Well we had this small mermaid that came out of a fizzing egg from the dollar store. So I pitched her the idea of putting that mermaid into an "ocean" bottle and she loved that.  With another Fiji water bottle we had at home, we put…

Grow Your Own Geodes 

Nova loves loves loves science experiments! This popped up on my Pinterest the other day and I knew she'd want to try this one.  Nova also loves rocks, stones and gems. She did a mining activity with my mom at the Calgary Corn Maze last summer and she still plays with the same rocks and…

Storm Clouds ⛈

We tried this one once before and it didn't work at all. Still not sure why! But Nova asked me one morning if we could "try the shaving cream colours again" so we tried again! It turned out much better this time. Obviously adding colours over and over starts to make the water a gross…

This experiment is something that Curtis had been saying for awhile he wants to try with Nova. We were both off work one day so we picked up what we needed and decided to make it after supper. Experiments like this are my favourite because they are so easy to do, require very little materials…

Paper Bag Puppets 🦊

Elephant Toothpaste!

Nova had seen a video on YouTube for this experiment and asked so many times to try it but I kept forgetting to pick up yeast when I was at the grocery store! We've done this 100 times since then and it is hands down Novas favourite experiment! Elephant toothpaste is so easy to do…

Printables

I have been working on an activity book for Nova to do on the plane ride to Newfoundland next month. She's watched me print out a ton of different activity pages and has been testing some out to see how she likes them. Plus I can see how fast she does them and which ones…
