Learning benefits
- 💡 This hands-on exploration helps them understand basic physics concepts like air resistance and gravity in a fun, visible way.
Safety notes
- ⚠️ If your child is under 4 or still developing fine motor skills, an adult should handle the scissors. Paper clips could be a choking hazard for children under three; ensure they are used only under close supervision.
Cleanup
- 🧹 This activity creates minimal mess, mostly just a few paper scraps. A quick sweep or vacuum of the floor will take care of any stray bits, and your supplies can be tucked away in a drawer for next time.
