If the kids are tired and and bored of watching TV then we may just have the answer!
Each week you will find fun things to occupy the kids right here at YorkMix.
You can do this inside or outside, but be sure you are supervising any water play, even if there are only a few inches in the container.
What to do:
1. Fill a large plastic bowl or tire tube lined with plastic
2. Sail a boat made out of paper or a coconut shell for pirate fun!
3. Find things that sink and that float – this is a little science experiment
4. Use a feather, a cork, a stone, an acorn, a leaf, rubber ball, and anything else your child finds
5. Ask before she drops it into the water whether it will sink or float
6. Ask why it sinks and why it floats
