Examine, Investigate and Explore
Tykes love to explore their surroundings. Explore volume by pouring with kids. Explored the changes in consitency as they added water to floam from soap flakes eventually playing with bubbles. Explore the outdoors on a scavenger hunt with some nifty cards from Saltwater Kids. What boy doesn’t like to get dirty? Allie of No Time for Flashcards watched her son explore in dirt. Anna of the Imagination Tree enjoyed exploring with shaving cream with her girls.

Chasing Cherrios helped her kids develop fine motor skills with a cheese shaker and toothpicks, while Lilla-A made a tool and gadget wall (*swoon*). Mya and Me had fun making towers of cherrios.
Messy Art
Dip balls into paint and have fun rolling them around on a canvas in this Ball Painting Project. Use a variety of items for your kids to paint with, including this one from Paint on the Ceiling – a toilet brush. Two year olds love to make handprints – here is a collection of different handprint crafts for your kids to enjoy. Don’t want to use a brush? How about painting with balloons? Or using toy cars to paint masterpieces?
