My pre-schooler Brady loves it when I tell him we are going to do science experiments.  He gets so excited and totally lights up.  They’re just so much fun!

I try to find science experiments I can do with him that are simple and don’t take a lot of time and patience.  We all know patience is not a virtue of a four-year-old.

I like them to only require a few ingredients and be completely safe and hands-on.  Here are my most favorite experiments I’ve found for a three to four-year-old.

    There are SO MANY ads on your site that it runs so slow on mobile. It’s not user friendly. In fact, i just accidently hit the ad on the bottom of the screen that stays there while writing this. This could really hurt your traffic. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Remember that money isn’t everything. Also, less is more when it comes to ads on your site. Slow sites push away traffic, make sure the readers come back or don’t leave after 30 seconds. Just writing this was difficult. Way way way too many ads girl.

    Thanks, I have been looking for some arts and crafts for my granddaughter. She will love these. I am a little hesitant on the stepping on eggs thing though. Can’t tell you how many times I have gotten egg shells stuck in the palm of my hands.
