Ever Since Zach was very little I would sit him down on the kitchen floor and give him a couple bowls, spoons, measuring cups and whatever else looked like fun so he could play "chemistry". I would fill up the bowls with water and he would pour, dump, spill and make a mess until him and the floor was covered in water. Some people in my family didn't really love that I let him do this(especially when we were living at my mom's and let him do it on her kitchen floor). Zach loves it so much, and I think it has helped him develop many skills that a toddler needs to learn. Small motor skills, using his imagination, helping clean up when he was finished making a mess. It was also pretty impressive for an 18 month old to say "mom, I want to play chemistry" I love how smart and energetic Zach is. He keeps me on my toes and I am always looking for ways to teach him something new. It is a great way for me to learn new things as well.
