Are you looking for a few fun things to do over the holiday break with your child? Let’s explore Christmas Science Activities together!

20+ Christmas Science Activities for Kids this Holiday Season

We have two whole weeks off of school for holiday break and one of my goals is to plan for moments for Christmas Science Activities!  Many of us have a little bit more down time over the break with our kids so it makes the perfect time to surprise them with some science fun.

Plus with Grandparents around too it can be a fun way for all ages to experiment together and give something to talk about and look forward to. I’ve gathered my favorite Christmas Science Activities to share with you.

    They're all so pretty! Great activities for kids. These days, most would just keep them occupied…and quiet playing games on their ipads
