Description
Make science time extra magical this December with this Christmas Science Activity Pack designed just for preschool and Pre-K students! This print-and-go collection invites children to explore weather, magnetism, melting ice, and the five senses through fun, hands-on investigations with a Christmas theme.
These low-prep science activities are perfect for centers, small groups, or whole group instruction during the holiday season.
What’s Included:
- Is Santa Dressed for the Weather?
Children look at winter scenes and decide if Santa is dressed correctly for the weather (weather understanding and critical thinking skills). - Save the Gingerbread Man! – Melting Ice Experiment
Children explore temperature and melting as they try to free a gingerbread man from ice using child-safe tools and warm water. - Christmas Magnetism Activity
Children test Christmas-themed objects with a magnet and sort into magnetic and non-magnetic. - Christmas Five Senses Posters
Bright, kid-friendly posters for taste, smell, touch, see, and hear to introduce sensory science. - Five Senses Recording Sheets
Students taste, smell, touch, listen, and observe, then mark whether they liked each experience using simple smiley face and sad face responses.
Skills & Concepts Covered:
- Observation & prediction
- Weather awareness & seasonal clothing
- Cause and effect
- Magnetism
- The five senses
- Scientific thinking and discussion
- Real-world connections
Perfect For:
- Preschool, Pre-K, Kindergarten
- December science centers
- Small group instruction
- Whole group science lessons
This resource keeps science hands-on, meaningful, and developmentally appropriate. Children stay engaged, make predictions, explore with their senses, and build early science confidence—all with a Christmas twist!
Please see the PREVIEW for photos & more details!
This set was designed especially for Pre-K (4-5's), and would also work well for Preschool (3's), Kindergarten, and First Grade.
