Sink or Float










The toddlers worked with Ms. Melissa to explore what objects sink and what objects float. They tested a straw, a q-tip, a rock, a foam shape, a milk cap, and several other objects. they made a prediction for each object and then tested their predictions.  they were surprised to see how many did float.

Creativity










































The toddlers love being creative. They love to try new things and see what will happen. We have been spending a lot of time exploring art materials and using these activities to explore science, nature, language and math.
