About This Product

Kindergarten Science Projects: Spring

A bumper pack of educationally engaging Spring Science activities with some fun related art/craft activities included, for kindergarten (3 to 8 yr olds) that can be done easily around the local environment of the school or home.

This pack of activities will provide the diligent teacher with an abundance of material to explore with their children this spring!

Although we do not provide a lesson plan - as each country/state will have their own, the ideas can easily be matched to the aims and objectives of your state's/country's curriculum.

What is included in the Spring Kindergarten Science Project?


There are 70+ pages of

  • Science activities

  • Art and craft activities

  • With supporting worksheets

  • And supporting Information sheets to help you plan your lesson and teach confidently

  • Plenty of questions to stimulate children to think and explore further!

Each activity is labelled for ease of reference: reading, art, observing, doing and recording.

The Spring Kindergarten Science Project Covers:

  • Waking up

  • Spring weather

  • Eggs and baby birds

  • Growing things

  • Roots and shoots

  • Brand new leaves

  • Flowers

  • Butterflies

  • Spring on the farm

  • Spring by the pond

  • Spring in the woods

  • Spring Poems

These ideas are ideally suited to a cross-curriculum project, based around Science and spring. Cross-curricular topics are the best way to teach young children as they view the world holistically. This project will help your teaching to be relevant to the young child, and both you and the children will be so caught up in your discoveries that you will forget you are learning, for the good teacher is always learning new things!

Better still, these are ideas that can be used over and over again for several years - children never tire of them and learn more every time! Prepare to learn things you never knew before as you learn with your children! Therefore, they are great if you teach the same class several years running, or if you teach a different set of pupils each year!
