Use all the treasures the kids collect at the beach, hiking, or in their own back yard to make a sensory bottle like the one below!  This smart idea came from My Little 3… and Me.  Too rainy to get outdoors?  Grab some eggs, oranges, or potatoes and try out some fun, indoor, science experiments.  Find these, and a bunch of other great ideas at Science Kids!

Warm Weather “Snow Globe”~ Flowers, glitter, plastic gems or butterflies make this project beautiful and fun! Recycle creamer containers or any plastic bottle, add electrical tape grass and sky with a few paper clouds, and your kids have their own indoor garden.
