Make a Mini Science Journal Booklet from one sheet of paper
Have you ever tried making tiny notebooks? My eldest is currently obsessed with pocket-sized books. He loves using them to doodle, jot down ideas, or record stories. Today we're doing a STEAM themed craft and turning a single white sheet of computer paper into a cute science journal. It's the perfect place for young scientists to jot down observations, hypotheses, and ideas for experiments.
Let's get making!
