2. Let kids explore each item, then put it in the pot. It was fun guessing if the item was going to sink or float. I brought out our chalkboard to keep track of our findings. The surprising thing was our smallest item sank, and our largest item floated. Actually, most of our items floated. The kids liked pushing our floating items to the bottom of our pot and watching them rise to the top.

Thanks so much for hosting!
Hi Debbie, Thanks for stopping in to party! 🙂
Simple activity – but clearly FUN! We just bought some mini-gourds last week for decoration. I think we'll give this a try with them. The last time we did sink and float was in the summer. It'll be interesting to see if my son's predictions are any better! Great job Katie! Best, Sue
Hi Sue, you are so sweet! Our predictions where all wrong, but it made the activity even more exciting! I hope you and Onetime enjoy. 🙂
The kids playing with pumpkins is adorable!
Hi Shelah, It was really fun sitting back and watching them enjoy each other and our activity. Thanks for visiting and linking up!
