50+ Science Activities for Kids: Kid's Co-op ~ Reading Confetti

Doing science activities with your kids takes advantage of their natural curiosity. They're a lot of fun to do and kids always learn something, even if the experiment doesn't go exactly as you planned it. Science activities are one of my kids' favorite projects, and I love seeing them figure things out. Luckily, the Kid's Co-op is always full of great ideas for fun ways to teach science to your kids. Here are more than fifty of them:

My son still loves to mix colors, especially with tinted water. My favorite activity to mix was filling balloons with tinted water and seeing what color the bath ended up when he cut them open.
