Creating together is committed to making learning fun – and each month, we feature a couple of science activities to encourage your children to have fun learning about science and nature.

What’s in store for May?
On May 9th, Tanya will be taking the kids through a “sink and float eggs”. What happens when you put an egg in a glass of regular water?Are there other liquids you can add to make the egg sink or float? What else can you dissolve in the water to make the egg float?

Children, parents and caregivers enjoyed a beautiful day of connection in nature, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
