🧸 Preschool & Early Learning

The Science of Toys: Station-Based Fun

Interactive, sensory-based investigations for ages 3 to 5!

This workshop begins with an interactive science show followed by an introduction to many hands-on stations. Designed to prepare early learners for school-based Physical Phenomena, children use their senses to discover how the toys and tools operate.

What the children investigate:

  • 🌈 Light & Senses: Discover how we see colours and light.
  • 🔊 Sound & Vibrations: Investigate how sound is made.
  • 🏗️ Push & Pull: Interactive stations based on physics forces.
  • 🌍 Gravity & Energy: Senses-based discovery of energy change.

“The children were so engaged and haven’t stopped talking about the experiments!” — Papilio Early Learning

✨ Creating wonder from an early age

We’ve run early childhood visits since 2004. We leverage our founder’s expertise in advising preschool teachers to ensure science is delivered the way kids love.

Led by a Churchill Fellow, we believe every child deserves a high-calibre experience that inspires wonder and sets the foundation for lifelong discovery.

Lucas Street Childcare Center

We liked the fun way it was presented. Allowing children to investigate 'why'... questioning the children. We recommend for future use for other centres. Thanks a heap for a great morning!

What do the kids get to do?

It’s all about getting hands-on with the sensory science toys that 3 to 5 year olds love! Your centre becomes a discovery zone where children explore tables filled with age-appropriate science toys aimed at helping them understand push & pull, light, sound & more. The session is tied together with a professional science show that young explorers love!

Duration

The program is perfectly paced for younger attention spans, combining demonstrations and station-based activities during the interactive 60 minutes.
