Watermelon Volcano Science Activity for Toddlers and Preschool
When I think of summer I think of the warm sun, the beach, children playing outside, picnics, and of course eating lots of watermelons. I also think it’s a time that I need to come up with some extra activities to keep the kids having fun, and learning. On this particular day I had scooped out the middle of the watermelon for a fruit salad and I knew there was something cool we could do with the rest of it. A watermelon science experiment and sensory play idea for a beautiful summer day. Perfect!
