Looking for winter science experiments for preschoolers? These science projects are perfect for preschool kids! One of my favorite things to do with my kids are STEM activities and science experiments. We love giving our science experiments a seasonal twist, which is why we have so many winter STEM activities for preschoolers here on STEAMsational.
Aside from writing, science is my second-favorite subject to teach. We didn’t do many science experiments growing up, so I love the chance to do more hands-on science with my kids.
