Do you have a budding mad scientist at home? If so, this simple ghost science experiment is sure to be a hit! All you need is a balloon, an empty bottle, some baking soda, and some vinegar, and you'll be able to watch a ghost grow right before your eyes.

If you’re looking for a fun and educational way to celebrate this spook-tacular holiday with your preschoolers, look no further than this boo-tiful Halloween unit study.

This pumpkin investigation is a fun and educational activity that helps children explore science, math, and sensory play. This activity can be as simple or elaborate as you desire and can be completed indoors or outdoors. It’s a great way to engage children in purposeful play and help them develop their critical thinking skills while having fun.

Once you decide to start homeschooling, what you do next can be pretty confusing. I’m here to help.
