Infant and Toddler Science Discovery Cards: Sensory, Cause and Effect, and Problem Solving

These science discovery cards offer four simple, supervised investigations for infants and toddlers ages 0–3: comparing textures, exploring cause and effect, finding a hidden toy, and rolling a ball down a ramp. Each card provides a cognitive focus, suggested materials, steps to try, words to say, and observations to notice. Use them to turn everyday play into short opportunities to practise attention, memory, object permanence, prediction, and early problem solving. Safety guidance reminds educators to choose appropriately large materials, inspect them, and adapt each activity to the child.
