Fun way to learn about cells with kids
Learning Activity Ideas
1. Coloring
The worksheet website “SUPERSTAR WORKSHEETS” has an excellent variety of science worksheets. Their plant and animal cells worksheets are free to download! Great for coloring and also as a reference!

2. Singing
We both love his learning song videos! His catchy song stays in the head and loop. Significant to memorize the parts of a cell and characteristics.
3. Making model cells with playdoh
My son made both cells look at the models we have and the worksheets from the superstar worksheets (details above).
4. Cell Anatomy Model
If your kids are crazy about the cells, I recommend these detailed models. My son loves them from his dad’s office. They are very well made, and parts are removable, so the kids can assemble the model like they play puzzles. Great for learning about the shape of each piece and structure.
5. Parents can learn too!
It has been an unbelievably long time since I finished school, so I realized how much I forgot about cells. I need to refresh my memories! Even the video is more advanced for little kids; sometimes, they love to watch together and pick and learn fast if they are into them!
