Water play is always a hit with my boys. The weather was perfect for making a river in our own garden using aluminum foil.

It’s amazing to watch how quickly children learn. When Alex does this activity first time, he uses both hands to save his little structure from collapsing. But after a few goes, he effortlessly builds a really high tower.

Max is looking for missing numbers with pegs. Some children just remember number sequence as a poem, but this activity challenges them to get a better understanding of numbers.

This is a quick fun activity we did to reinforce Max's understanding of the value of each number. We used play dough and toothpicks.

Money Math! We are using coins with different face value to count 10 pence.

Max loves this simple letter recognition activity covering letters from his name with clothes pins.

Heating up the air inside a plastic bottle with hot water and then cooling it down with cold to see how balloon reacts.

If you have a balloon and a straw at home, you can make this fun spinning balloon.

Today we made easy-to-make catapults from popsicle sticks and rubber bands for hours of fun. When I showed this catapult to Max for the first time he was very excited to play with it as it looked like an aeroplane. He was a bit...

Another way to paint for my young artist Alex - Blow Painting!

This is fun funnel experiment that proves that an empty bottle isn't, in fact, empty and to fill it with water we need to make sure that air can escape. If a funnel is properly sealed to a bottle and a lot of water is poured into it at...

This fun activity is based on a fact that children instinctively count things using their fingers.

This is, perhaps, the simplest and the funniest magnet fishing game with paperclips! I taped a magnet to a pipe cleaner and attached it to the front of a cap with a clothespin. After that, boys were ready to catch colourful paperclips...

This is an easy-to-make game that gives parents a chance to come up with their own variation that suits their child best. I made 2 plates. The first one was meant for Max with a challenge to make a marble to go thru every number in the...

We do different types of activities with boys, but mixing is Max's most favourite thing. Here Max is mixing Yellow and Blue colours with a help of baking soda and vinegar reaction.

A simple activity we do sometimes with stencils taped to piece of paper. Max loves exploring symbols and shapes while tracing them with pencils. Any stencils are good for the activity.

Max loved clothes pins activity last time, so I made this simple activity for him today. By now, he is quite familiar with his name letters, but have a look how good he is with more challenging words. I do not know where he learns all that.

This experiment shows how Pythagoras Cup works. A long time ago Pythagoras made this cup (also known as a Greedy Cup), that empties itself if too much drink is poured.

What child doesn't like to bash things with a hammer? So I made a surprise activity for Max this morning and he loved it. I used a piece of foam packaging from last night delivery, wooden sticks and a toy hammer.

Easy to make craft for a fun outdoor play. For this craft you need paper caps, balloons and ping pong balls. The only thing to be aware of is to use cheap balloons without a white powder inside them, otherwise they slip off.

Cars and math make a great team when it comes to learning addition! I love this addition game because it shows how many different answers there can be to the same question. This is great for kids that are active, or love...

This addition machine is hungry for numbers! It shows children that there are multiple ways to get to the same number. It can grow with your children because you can put in any numbers you want. Let me know if you...

Do you know what motor skills are? They’re the skills that we use without even thinking - writing, standing, walking, and so on! All these skills are learned, but we think they’re so easy! Learning a new skill is always hard- especially...
