I constantly find myself looking for ways to keep kuttyma engaged. Her attention span is ……. oh well that of a 3.5 year old. She constantly needs new things to see, do and learn. She is impatient (yeah she got some part of my genetic makeup afterall) and eager.

One lazy Saturday while looking for “something to do” I decided to throw in some science and teach her about magnetic force. She knew about magnets sticking to fridges but we played around quite a bit testing which of our furniture and toys were made of metal.

We made paper clips jump and dance.

We then added paints and glitter (just because we love it), a couple of clips to a paper plate. The magnet movements made a painting. It was fun and easy.

See that small small and the sense of wonder? I can never get enough of it
