We’re so excited to initiate more summer play with this month’s crate theme: Amusement Park! There are plenty of “amusements” to be had with this colorful carnival-themed crate. We hope you have as much fun playing with it as we did creating it!
My Bumper Cars
With this crate, build a pair of rolling bumper cars to explore basic physics through collisions. See what happens when objects collide and rebound off one another.
My Silly Squirters
Design and create a silly face carnival game — we’ve included a water squirter for extra summer fun! Continue the learning with the explore! magazine, where we we talk about the physics behind roller coasters in a kid-friendly way. Test some of the science behind amusement park rides with a fun and easy experiment.
