Last week for our Sid the Science Kid activity we went on a texture hunt
around the house. We first talked about our skin. I showed Trevor
(and Mackenzie =) how skin is all over out bodies...on our hands, our
legs, and even our faces! We talked about how we are able to feel
things with our skin. Next, I brought out four items from around the
house that were examples of different kinds of textures...

Have you done a texture hunt or other fun science activity with your children? I'd love to hear about it!
Happy Exploring!

The kids took a minute to explore the different items and say how they thought they felt. |
We explored how even the skin on different parts of our body could feel textures! |
Now it was their turn to find other items around the house that had different textures. |
