Hello, hello!
The little guy and I had so much fun last month with Science Lab. I didn’t realize how much he would enjoy exploring science with engineering. I’m really not all that surprised, though. He definitely gets it from his dad. Lol… My husband can seriously design + build anything.
We were totally disappointed when we finished this week, so I thought it’d be cool to make a list of 15+ awesome ideas for exploring Engineering with little kids from some of the best kid bloggers on the web. Of course ours are included too. You’re definitely going to want to check’ em out!

I’ll have to share some of these with by husband. He’s a science teacher and LOVES doing fun stuff like this with our kids, especially the oldest.
