Grow an Animal


Dollar Tree has these neat little sponge-like critters that you can purchase that when you put them into water they grow and grow. The alligator works well for this activity.

To make this "educational" you check in on your animal daily for a week. With a simple measuring tape, measure the length and make a graph or chart to show its growth progress. You can also take pictures of the animal each day next to the measuring tape, print them, and challenge your child to sequence them.

There you have it, $1 math & science!
