Fun Activities for Kids: Blend Words, Reading, and Science Experiments!
This multi-activity guide introduces children ages 3-5 to blend words, simple story reading, and hands-on science experiments like making a chocolate shake and testing dissolving, all in one session. Moving between literacy and science tasks builds flexible thinking and shows children that reading and hands-on exploration are connected, reinforcing that new vocabulary can describe real, observable experiments.

How to use this worksheet
Start with the blend words activity, sounding out a few consonant blends together before reading a simple story aloud, pointing to the words as you go. Move into the chocolate shake experiment, following the steps together to measure and mix the ingredients, talking about how the ingredients combine. Next, explore capacity by pouring water into different glasses and comparing how full each one looks. Finish with the dissolving experiment, adding food coloring or another substance to water and observing what happens as it disappears into the liquid.
