Kinetic Sand Dinosaur Excavation

Updated on by | Leave a Comment

My son has been desperately wanting to try out some kinetic sand for ages and I have to admit that I have too!  We were offered the chance to review some of the fab toys from House of Fraser and I knew straight away this is what he’d want to try, we’ve seen it played with on kids You Tube channels but I hadn’t seen it available in UK shops before. Of course rather than just have a play with it I thought I’d try something a bit extra so I set up a little activity in the form of this kinetic sand dinosaur excavation.

Fishing for Dinosaurs Ice Experiment

by | 25 Comments

After the huge success of our science experiment the other week where we entombed Batman in ice, I thought I’d like to try another ice science experiment with my son. Picking up ice with string and salt is a classic experiment, but I thought it might be a bit dull for my son as he is only four, so I thought about what four year old’s are actually interested in and came up with this fishing for dinosaurs experiment!

Marbled Dinosaur Messy Play Painting

by | 2 Comments

Painting with foam is a great way for kids to get a hands on messy play or sensory play and as the mother of a three year old boy I know how popular dinosaurs are! Believe me I’ve learned more about dinosaurs in the last year than I did in the previous 35! This dinosaur messy play painting creates a cute marbling effect that you will want to use yourself once the kids are in bed.
