Children under five are children that are active and very imaginative and have want to know high. But in general education was introduced at age of entering primary schools. At time of infants are a children have a degree of intelligence that development is very fast.
Introducing science to toddler
Toddler is very easy to receive knowledge with method of experiment. Children have creativity in understanding lessons directly. It can be referred to as golden age. At time of this is a good opportunity to introduce concept of science lessons that are simple in children. For example about a water absorption of object.

The experiment about object absorption of water. To toddler for experiment are not dangerous and easily obtained. Because childrens have the interest in something new. Moreover object to experiment is often seen by toddler. Then the children are very happy with the real experiment method, and easily understood what has been seen with eye.

- intruction to toddler about experiment
- Then deduce the result from object of experiment
The result of the experiment
paper if exposed to water will be wet and soft
.
.
conclusion
from all explanation above, it can be concluded that activity of science can be done for children under age of five is by doing an experiment about object absorption of water. Where the result is sheet of paper can absorb water.
