Five-year-olds are enthusiastic learners and problem solvers. At this age, they are learning to count, starting basic addition/subtraction, and telling time. This is an age where their enthusiasm for problem-solving should be encouraged! You can help develop their STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) knowledge in a fun way with educational toys for 5 and 6...
You've seen the Goldie Blox commercial of three engineering girls building a contraption throughout their house, right? If not, definitely watch it. Goldie Blox isn't the only STEM toy focused on encouraging girls to explore science, technology, engineering, and math. There is a big uptick in engineering-focused toys to appeal to girls. While your young ladies are...
Here is another great (and easy) experiment to demonstrate chemical reactions! We've been busy at our house with experiments with chemical reactions. With this experiment, you may find yourself asking, "which came first - the rubber egg or the rubber chicken?" (Hah! - Cheesy joke, I know.) This one falls at the top of our...

I still had tons of these tiny jars, so I was brainstorming other possible projects to do with these jars. That's when we...
