Things to Do While You’re Waiting: Curious Young Scientists

Keep children engaged when you have to wait

• Observe the world
  Help your child notice sights, smells, and sounds around you.
• Think like scientists
  Talk about causes:  “What’s making Mommy’s hair go sideways?”
• Make predictions
  Let’s guess how long it will take Daddy to change the tire?
• Imagine!
  Ask questions: “What would you do if we could go into space?”
