Printable Science Activities for Kids: Space, Dinosaurs, Oceans & the Human Body

We’ve taken little explorers to cities, countries and faraway places. Now we’re heading somewhere a little different: into space, beneath the ocean, back to the age of dinosaurs and inside the amazing human body.

Welcome to Wanderlings Science Explorers — printable activity packs for children who always have one more question.

Why do we have bones? How do we know dinosaurs existed? What lives deep beneath the waves? Each pack gives curious children a theme to explore through activities, creativity and conversation. No plane ticket required.

Space activities for kids: an adventure beyond our world

For children who look up at the night sky and immediately start asking questions, our space-themed pack is a lovely place to begin. Turn the kitchen table into mission control and make a little time for exploring the universe.

Try this together: ask your child what they would want to discover on a space mission. Afterwards, step outside on a clear evening and see what you can spot in the sky.

Dinosaur activities for kids: follow the clues into the past

Our Dinosaur Adventure brings prehistoric discovery to the page, with fossil and footprint activities that encourage children to look closely and imagine the world long ago.

It’s a chance to move beyond naming favourite dinosaurs and start thinking like an explorer: what can a footprint tell us? What clues might a fossil leave behind?

Try this together: make tracks in soft playdough with a toy animal. Compare their shapes and spacing, then imagine someone discovering them thousands of years later.

Ocean activities for kids: dive into Under the Sea

Our Under the Sea Adventure explores ocean creatures and habitats, from octopus arms to the glow of deep-sea fish. Children can follow their curiosity beneath the waves without leaving home.

Bring it out before an aquarium visit, after a beach day or on an afternoon when your living room needs a little underwater adventure.

Try this together: choose one ocean animal and ask, “What would it need in its home?” Let your child draw their ideas and explain what they’ve included.

Human body activities for kids: discover My Amazing Body

You don’t have to travel far to find something extraordinary. My Amazing Body introduces the skeleton, five senses, organs and healthy habits through printable activities, including a skeleton puzzle.

Use it to start everyday conversations about how we move, what our senses notice and how we look after ourselves. Questions are welcome — even the ones that arrive halfway through dinner.

Try this together: sit quietly for a minute and notice what you can hear, see and feel. Compare your discoveries: did you both notice the same things?

A little discovery, at your own pace

You don’t need to finish an entire pack in one sitting. Choose a few pages around your child’s interests, leave space for questions and come back another day.

These printable science activities can give rainy afternoons, weekends and home-learning time a theme. Use a page as the beginning of an adventure, then follow it with a library book, a museum visit or something you can observe together.

Download. Print. Discover.

Science Explorers packs are digital PDF downloads. Print the pages you want to use and gather the materials needed for your chosen activities. An adult can help with reading and cutting where needed.

Choose the subject that sparks your child’s curiosity. Space today, dinosaurs tomorrow — and perhaps a very important discussion about octopus arms over breakfast.
