The Coffee Filter Magic Flower

Steps:

Set out a few white coffee filters on a tray or plastic container.
Show your child how to fold the coffee filter in half, then in half again.
Mix a few drops of food coloring into small cups of water.
Have your child squeeze the eyedropper to soak up the colorful water.
Encourage them to carefully drop the water onto the folded edges of the filter.
Slowly unfold the wet filter to see a beautiful, colorful pattern.
Let the filters dry to create magic flowers or window art!

Safety Tip:
Food coloring can stain clothes and surfaces. Use a tray to keep the water contained. Always supervise your child when using the eyedropper and water.

The Tilted Straw Maze

Steps:

Use markers to draw a start and finish line on a paper plate.
Cut colorful straws into several small pieces using your scissors.
Glue the straw pieces onto the plate to build maze walls.
Leave enough space between the straws for a marble to roll.
Place a marble at the start line once the glue is dry.
Hold the plate with both hands and tilt it to move the marble.
Try to reach the finish line without the marble falling off!

Safety Tip:
Marbles are a significant choking hazard. Always supervise children during play and keep all small materials away from younger siblings.

The Silver Pan Web Weaver

Steps:

Use markers to draw ten dots around the rim of the pan.
Use a pencil to poke a hole through each dot.
Tie one end of the yarn to the first hole.
Thread the yarn across the pan to another hole.
Continue until the silver web is finished!

Safety Tip:
Poking holes with a pencil requires steady hands. Always supervise your child to prevent any pokes to the skin.

Spoon Glide Seesaw

Steps:

Tape two long cardboard strips side-by-side to make a wide path.
Draw a colorful zigzag line down the middle with markers.
Place a ping pong ball at the start of the path.
Give your child a spoon.
Ask them to hold the cardboard track with both hands.
Tilt the board left and right to roll the ball.
Use the spoon in one hand to keep the ball on the line.

Safety Tip:
Always supervise your child during play to ensure they use the spoon and ball safely.

The Aluminium Pan Sifter Shake

Steps:

Place the Aluminium Foil Pan upside down on a table.
Use a pencil to poke ten holes through the bottom of the pan.
Flip the pan over and set it on top of a large bowl.
Pour a cup of dry rice and a handful of beads into the pan.
Hold the edges of the pan with both hands.
Shake the pan side to side to sift the rice into the bowl.
Use your pinching fingers to pick up the remaining beads!

Safety Tip:
Always supervise children during this activity. The pencil has a sharp point, and the rice and beads are small objects that can be a choking hazard.
