SING-O: Play a Bingo Game with Your Favorite Songs!
Amidst all of the excitement of kindergarten, children are working hard to develop good concentration and memory skills. Building these skills can take lots of practice, but can also be loads of fun, especially when practice feels like playing a fun game!
Explore Blood Science!
Try this fun and informative activity with your kindergartner and help him build up his science skills and learn about one of the most important parts of our bodies!
Your Nose Knows! Have Fun with Smell Science
Help your kindergarten scientist explore the science of smell - and have a great time doing it, too.
Make Waves in a Bottle
If your child's school is inland, or if the ocean waters nearby seem rough for a little kid, here's a delightful way to bring some waves home...and build up that kindergarten earth science knowledge as well.
Backyard Astronomy
Your child will likely be amazed when she finds out that our own sun is a star. And come nighttime, she'll enjoy looking up at constellations. The best news is, star gazing is something everyone can enjoy with no special equipment needed.
Paint Like Mondrian!
Here's a painting activity that incorporates some art history - the style of the great modernist painter, Mondrian - and gives your child a chance to work with geometric shapes and practice the vertical and horizontal strokes he uses in forming letters. Get ready for some stunning results, too.
Draw Sidewalk Chalk Family Portraits
This activity is perfect for those Spring and Summer days when you and your child want to make the most of the beautiful weather and spend some time outside. She'll learn about her family and get a chance to show off her sidewalk chalk artistic prowess!
Make a Sandcastle You Can Keep!
Here's a great summer craft that will tide you and your child over between those longed-for trips to the beach. With some sand and some cornstarch, your child can bring the beach home and create a sand castle that won't wash away.
What Has Happened to the Rain?
This activity will help your child become more aware of what happens when pollution goes into our air, and continue to reinforce that love and protectiveness she has of the environment. It might even inspire her to make some "green" changes in her life!
Make a Mother's Day Woven Basket
Give your kindergartener a beautiful way to say "I love you" while giving end-of-year math and writing skills a workout!
