With summer coming up, every parent is scrambling to find engaging creative activities that get your kids exploring and learning new things.

Even if you don’t have kids, you probably have friends or family who do. Maybe you know a teacher friend who could use these ideas in next year’s classroom, in which case, please do share!

Or perhaps you want to do these creative food projects yourself. Honestly, we had so much fun testing out these experiments!

Today we’re kicking off this #KidsFood series by unleashing the inner artist and investigator found in all kids with 4 food experiments that will keep everyone entertained this summer.

Learn more about each experiment and get the instructions below. For a couple of these projects, we also provide printables that will make it easy for your little food scientist to observe and take notes.
