Today I have some lovely Christmas science themed activities for you.
How about growing some Christmas Crystals?
Make some lovely spiced apple cider and explore filtering.
Explore a mini Christmas tree.
Investigate the sparkly and matte surfaces of your Christmas ornaments.
Enjoy some sensory fun with this Christmas sensory tub from The Imagination Tree.
How about making some candy cane goo?
What about some Sparkly Ice Exploration?
We loved making our Christmas Shadow Puppets
Or, how about some science kits to give as presents?
Lava lamp kit
Goo kit ( oobleck )
Finally, how about celebrating with a firework in a glass?
Do you have any other ideas for us?

Great idea for the gift of goo
Thanks for sharing will see what my son would like to try
Thanks Jenn.
We have tried growing crystals, but they didn’t end up looking like yours.
It did take a few attempts and a lot of patience.
I love growing crystals! I had to do it a few times too! We did our crystals for earth day with blue and green pipecleaners in the shape of an earth. Fun stuff!!
oooh that sounds great!
That looks like fun. I want to try the candy cane goo. : )
It smelled lovely!
Wonderful ideas! We will definitely have to try a few of them out, especially the candy cane goo.
I liked that one!
Great round up,thanks.
