Science Activity For Preschoolers-Grassman

Preschool Learning Activity for Kids: Grass Man

This is a fun activity that helps children to learn about grass and growing and how to take care of things to help them grow, all with a funny little character.

Grass man's hair is actually the grass the grows from your container, so the preschoolers are excited to see it grow. Of course you can treat this as a science activity for kids as you observe and chart or document any new changes that you see everyday as you look for the growing grass.

Kids can cut the grass (hair) with scissors once it has grown and have fun watching their friend grow his green hair.

Spring & Summer Outdoor Activities for Kids

Fun Spring and Summer Outdoor Activities for Kids:

Want to keep your kids active during the nice weather this Spring or Summer? You need to keep your children from adopting a sedentary lifestyle which can lead to obesity and other health issues.

Today, many children sit in front of television for hours or play video games with no physical activity. Physical activity is good for their gross motor skills development and fine motor skills development & overall health.

Teaching your kids to get up and move is a nice habit to get them into, one which will stay with them for many years to come.


Outdoor Obstacle Course:

Have you thought of setting up a fun obstacle course in your backyard for your children and their friends? You can use some pylons (or other things to act as pylons or markers) for them to weave in and out through. Hoola hoops can be used for jumping. Maybe a long wavy rope or your garden hose laying out in a crazy pattern for them which they have to balance on and follow.

You can even get a couple of the play tunnels which they have for little children and get your kids crawling through it.

The thing is, make it fun and challenging for your kids, while keeping it safe. It will get your preschool kids and young children moving on a nice Spring or Summer day.

You can even make it into a fun game or contest & time each child as they complete the course.

This is just one of many great ideas for keeping children healthy and active outdoors with some physical activities for kids.


Sun Safety and Water To Drink:

*Remember to ALWAYS use a suitable sunblock or dress children appropriately with plenty of liquids to drink when playing outside. Have any other great ideas for keeping children moving? Let us know by commenting below or contacting us.

Spring & Summer Fun for Preschool & Kindergarten Children

Spring & Summer Activities for You and Your Children:

With Spring happening right now and Summer right around the corner, we need to come up with some new preschool learning activities and activities for young children to learn from while keeping them entertained.

Spring can be a great time to talk about the animals and how they are preparing for Spring etc. You could take a look at how the grass is turning from it's dull, brown, lifeless color to a new green color. Or how the leaves on the trees are beginning to grow out from their buds.

Tulips, plants and different types of flowers can be seen poking up out of the ground which signifies new life and regrowth which is associated with Spring time.

You could actually find books about Spring and use coloring pages related to animals you find in the Spring time or coloring pages identifying different Spring time flowers etc.

Use your imagination and get creative. Lots can be learned from Spring time and all of the other seasons which we experience. To kids, these are full of new experiences and learning.
