Making a memory game from paper plates is easy, and playing with this paper plate memory game is fun!

One can play outdoors, if the weather permits, or take it inside too!

This game is great for developing visual memory skills.

To make this memory game you will need:

• Paper plates
• Sharpies/markers or paint

You can draw anything such as shapes, colors or even printed images if you'd like. 

Obviously, one needs two of a kind to make a pair.  But one can make however many plate pairs you’d like.

This game can be used as a pairing activity for younger kids too! A fun way to work on visual memory, and visual discrimination.

How to make a bubble snake maker?

• Bottle
• Scissors *
• Elastic band
• Flannel, face cloth or an old sock
• Bubble mixture and water
• Food colouring (optional)

Find a clean, empty plastic bottle. 

Using a pair of scissors or a craft knife (and  *adult supervision), help your child by cutting the bottom off the plastic bottle.

With your kids, cover the open end of your bottle with a piece of fabric that is similar to a washcloth or cotton sock.  We used a flannel and cut it into a circle shape (to keep the ends from dipping into your bubble mixture).

Secure with a rubber band to keep the fabric in place. No elestic band then don't worry just wrap it in tape.

Make your own bubble mixture (the mixture isn’t safe to drink)

Homemade bubble mixture is a doddle to make, but you really need to remember the magic ingredient!

• Washing up liquid
• Water
• Glycerine (found in the baking section at the supermarket)

Mix 3 tablespoons of washing up liquid with 250ml of water (distilled water gives the best results) and add 1 tablespoon of glycerine.  This mix is best left overnight to settle before using.

Place your bubble mix into a shallow bowl or plate.

Dip the fabric in the bubble solution and give the bottle a blow.  Blowing slowly produces the longest snakes.  We had a lot of wind and it kept blowing our snakes away!

The goal is to make each one float back to the ground with its parachute catching air. That was something we need to explore!

Here are the supplies for the science experiments:

• Plastic egg halves
• Large plastic straws
• Narrow bendy straws
• Popsicle sticks
• Wooden ice cream spoons
• Wood chopsticks
• Coffee filters
• Masking tape

Putting the Egg Parachutes Together

The two matching connectors were taped inside each of the plastic egg halves. We added tape that crossed from the inside of the egg to the outside around each connector to make sure it stayed in place. Then a ring of the tape was added to the outside of each of the eggs to hold the outside edges of the crisscrosses in place.

Then we taped the connectors to the outside of a coffee filter. To add another variable we could have taped connector to the inside of the coffee filter. We have to try more science experiments using that idea on another day.

Your children will have fun conducting science experiments with plastic Easter eggs. After they have attended an egg hunt, you will have plenty of eggs to conduct experiments with.
