5 Education Activities for at Home Learning

Children’s brains don’t stop developing because of a pandemic. With a rise in cases in the last few weeks, the St. George Children’s Museum understands that not everyone will want or can come in to see our exhibits to learn and play. Our top priority is children’s education and we want to offer resources to parents and caregivers. Here are a few fun resources we have found that can be beneficial for some fun learning and playing.

1. Pipe Cleaner Constellation

This hands-on activity will teach your kids about the constellations patterns
and stars that are within our solar system. Fun for all ages!

2. Colors with Baking soda and Vinegar

Experiment with colors with this 3 ingredient home science experiment. Watch as
you and your child make some colorful bubbles! All you need is some baking soda, vinegar and food coloring!

3. Growing Crystals

Grow salt or sugar crystals with this 1-4 day experiment that will amaze your children.
Make being stuck at home not suck with this easy experiment.

4. Backyard Treasure Hunt

Enhance your child’s reading skills by creating a treasure hunt map for them to go
searching where X marks the spot. Or make it advanced and have them make a map for you to find a treasure!

5. Tape Sorting Shapes

Tape down some painters tape in different shapes and then scatter different paper
shapes around the house and have your child match the right shapes.


When you do decide to come visit us at the St. George Children’s Museum we have additional
educational resources for grades K-5th, to optimize your visit for your child. You can find these
