Kitchen Science Experiments for Kids

My kids love the kitchen and they love science.  It is fun for them, so I thought it would be fun to find some experiments that they could do in the kitchen. 

Here are some of the many, many experiments I found:

Back at it!

Today, we started back at homeschool after a little break for Easter.  It went well, Princess Belle was able to remember all the things we had covered before our break.  And I am so proud of Princess Magpie, she asked to move ahead to grade 1!  She is only five but she has finished her kindergarten curriculum and she wanted to do more move on to harder stuff.  Princess Snifflefritz is only four, but she started doing some kindergarten work.  We went easy with her, just getting her used to the routine and following directions. I am proud of how much progress they are making.

Speaking of progress, Little Prince is learning to climb stairs!  He can only do it by crawling up with me behind him to keep him from falling down, but he is learning the movement and how to make his body do what he wants it too.  He is also getting steadier on his feet, looking a little less intoxicated when he walks, now if we could get him talking it would be wonderful!

Ways to organize your Homeschool Supplies

I LOVE organization.  I love all ideas and tips for organization.  Here are some that I found today:

Use skirt/pant hangers and plastic bags to hang puzzles, charts, or lightweight craft supplies (feathers, pom poms, etc.).

Repurpose Drink Carriers.

Reuse Baby Wipes Containers

Make a Book Holder Out of a Drying Rack

Wine Rack for Markers

Use candle sticks and cake pans to build a school supplies organizer that is easy to use.

Use a hanging shoe rack to organize your school supplies

Personal caddies for each child, personalized with name labels, and filled with pencils, a sharpener, crayons and glue sticks so they can grab it and go.
