There's just something fulfilling in sending an object hurtling through the air, don't you agree? Well, even if you don't, something tells me some of the kiddos you know would agree with me. Why not channel that interest into these amazing catapults for kids!?

Ideas and Activities for Catapults for Kids

In addition to being an exciting experience, catapults lead to so much thinking and learning! Fine motor skills, science, and math are just a few subjects that catapults help children learn about. Have you and your kiddos ever made one, or played with one? If not, here are 14 FUN ideas to try!

A couple days ago I saw a very neat science experiments with magnets, which reminded me those magnets we have at home. I did some search and find many cool science experiments about magnetism for kids. Here are some of the best magnet science experiment ideas I found.

Magical Science Experiments of Magnetism for Kids

This is the one I found a couple days ago, magnetic experiment with a Valentine's twist - playful heart.

For young children, this magnet sensory bin is a perfect way to explore magnet effects.

Do you know our money is magnetic? You have to go find out now!

Another thing I never thought is the iron in our breakfast cereal. This experiment will visually show you the iron in your food with the help of magnets.

This magic pipe cleaner is another fun magnet activity for young children.

Magnetic sculpture, building with magnets, is such a creative idea, yet is totally fun.

I am sure kids will be thrilled to watch the compass they make giving them direction. Here is how to make your own compass.

Older kids will be able to do this one - measuring the strength of a magnet.

To learn more about magnetism, you can watch this short YouTube video.

Science & Art swirled up into one! This is my favorite project yet, and the last in the series! A huge thank you to Shannon ( A Mom's Year) for suggesting this art project. I was eager to try it, and I'm excited to share it with you!
All you need for this project is the following:
1. A plate 2. Milk (2% or higher) 3. Food Coloring 4. Dish Soap (That's it!!)

1. Fill the plate with a thin layer of milk. Next, put in drops of food coloring.

2. Then, add a few drops of dish soap into the center of the food coloring, sit back, and watch! (I should mention that I tried this first with eco-friendly dish soap and it didn't really work, so stick to the hard stuff for this!)

KA-POW! The milk fat instantly reacts to the soap, creating art!

Wow, right?! It will spin for quite a while, and if you add more drops of dish soap into the dark areas of food coloring you can keep the action going for quite a while.

If you want to see milk art in action, you can check out this video that I found:

Este es un video para promocionar la inquietud de mejorar formas didácticas en base a las competencias, obviamente mejor explicado pero con el debido celo de mejorar la educación en México, gracias a todas las personas que lo vean y que hagan mejores formas de decirles a los niños que todo lo que lo rodea es parte de su esencia integral para ayer, hoy y mañana y el resto de su vida.
