Tips for Easter Science in the Preschool Classroom

If you want your Easter preschool science activities to go off without a hitch, keep the following things in mind:

Preschoolers have a wide range of abilities. When selecting a science experiment, choose something that all levels can do without frustration.

Kids who are more advanced will still love the hands-on science experience, while the kids who aren’t as advanced won’t get frustrated by an activity that is too difficult or complicated for their level.

If you do these science experiments in the preschool classroom, divide the children into groups and use non-breakable materials so that the children can complete these experiments on their own.

You can also consider doing these experiments as science demonstrations to illustrate the concepts to the entire class, then having them fill out a science worksheet with their observations.

This works best if you have a high student to teacher ratio or if your class period is short.

What are the Benefits of Easter Science Experiments for Preschool?

Easter science for preschoolers is a lot of fun. There is something magical about bunnies, flowers, and of course, candy!

When kids are small, there isn’t a whole lot of scientific knowledge that they need to know.

What kids need to know as preschoolers is to love the world and love learning about it.

With preschool Easter science activities, they can do just that!

These super-fun, hands-on Easter science activities are the perfect thing to try with preschoolers so that they can start enjoying and loving science right from the start!

Supplies for Your Easter Science Activities for Preschoolers

Consider adding some of these tools to your preschool STEM bins or STEM centers.

In addition to these supplies, you will also want some Peeps, some pastel or spring colors, and some Easter eggs. Real eggs are also fun to learn with during the Easter season!

For Easter, we particularly like having eggs and Peeps on hand. There are tons of fun Peeps flavors to try during the spring and the preschool classroom is the perfect excuse to try out some of the fun flavors!
