Posted in money time saving ideas and lessons
|
This is a new idea I came up with. I am going to keep this in my jeep for those times I am out with the kids. I can not tell you how many times I have been out at my parents' house or the in-laws and could have used these tools for conducting lessons, experiments, or observations. Almost everything you see either came from the Dollar Store or I had it on hand already. I am going to list some stuff and if any of you have any other suggestions, please add them on.
The bucket is a 2 1/2 gallon paint bucket decorated by my kids with stickers. I got this from Home Depot. Here is a list of stuff I have included: Premeasured plaster of paris sealed in a ziploc & put in an old cool whip container for mixing. I added a bottle of water premeasured for the plaster, a spatula for mixing & spreading for animal tracks. field guides for birds, bugs, leaves & tracks paint brushes for brushing away dirt & a spray bottle w water strainer for stuff in the water rubbermaid containers to bring stuff home to observe stuff in gloves for icky stuff measuring tape notepad for notes & pictures with colored pencils (crayons would melt) spoons & shovel for digging, prunning shears, compass, sundial, magnifying glass, dish cloths I plan to add butterfly nets when I can find them in the stores. |
