We love using these chunky magnifying glasses during our science lessons and letting the students use them at the science center!
Jumbo Tweezers
These big tweezers are perfect for little hands. We use them in sensory bins, too!
Pipettes
Our very favorite way to use these pipettes are with baking soda and vinegar experiments, but they’re fun to use for so many things and are great practice to build those finger muscles and fine motor skills.
Body Puzzle
Melissa and Doug puzzles are some of our favorites, and this cool body puzzle is no exception! We love incorporating this into our science centers or our All About Me unit.
Floor Puzzles
Told you Melissa and Doug puzzles are the best! Our students adore these giant floor puzzles, and they have so many cool science ones!
Art Trays
I know these are art trays, but they are PERFECT for so many science activities, too! They really help contain the mess and we find so many different ways to use them.
Butterfly Kit
Have you ever seen these awesome butterfly kits? We love to grow butterflies with our classes in the spring, and it is such a great science activity that everyone thinks is so cool!
Science Viewer
These science viewers are a classroom favorite. Kids love to swap the pictures and show their friends what they can see!
Can Do! Science Activity Kits
Lakeshore Learning makes these Can Do! Science Activity Kits, and they are so fun to add to the science center! They cover a variety of cool science topics including magnets, sound, magnification, sink and float, and more.
Insect Specimens
What kid doesn’t love bugs? These insect specimens are so fun to have for a bug and insect unit, and if you add the jumbo magnifying glasses from above, they’re even better.
Magnet Movers Kit
This Learning Resources Magnet Movers Kit is a great introduction to magnets. Kids are naturally curious about magnets and this lets them explore them in a fun and safe way.
There you have it! Some of the very best science toys you can add to your preschool classroom! We hope you love them all as much as we do.
