Paper Plate Art: Sunny Side Up!
Looking for something to do on a rainy day? Let the sun in! This project uses supplies you probably already have in the house, and turns them into a sunshiny project that will work your preschooler's fine motor skills (the muscles in the hand they need to strengthen to learn to write.)
Create a "Words I Know" Book
You know that speed limit sign your son gleefully points out each time your drive him to preschool, or that fast food sign your daughter can recognize at the drop of a hat? Use those words to your advantage, and create a book your kid can read all by herself.
Make a Paper Chain!
You don't need to wait for Christmas to hang garlands around the house. Here's a fun activity that will help your child learn to cut on a line and help you to overcome your scissor fears!
Make Homemade Candy Canes
Marbled candy canes are a traditional winter festival gift that looks good poking out of the top of a Christmas stocking, tied to a tree with ribbon, or adorning a beautifully wrapped present.
Make a Sensory Table
It's a place designed for squishing, sifting, sorting, digging, and pouring, where children can get messy, have fun and play freely. Learn how to make one at home!
Love to Pretend? Play Me TV!
Sick of hearing, "Mooo-oom! Can I watch TV?" The next time this common cry fills your living room, how about suggesting your child create a memorable program of his own?
Homemade Fingerpaint
You don't need to shell out big bucks to keep kids in fingerpaint. With this recipe, you can stew up your child's favorite colors, right in your own kitchen.
Make Mud Brick Buildings
Young kids love the tactility of mud, and chances are your preschooler has already gotten into his fair share of mud adventures. Why not join in the fun (and make it educational while you're at it)?
Create a String Thing
Ever thought of sculpting with string? It's a fun and unique activity that is sure to fascinate your preschooler. All you need to get started is granulated starch, a balloon, and, of course, a length of string.
Make Claydoh Beads
Your preschooler will love the hands-on fun of making and shaping homemade clay. When she's done, she'll have a beautiful hand-painted necklace.
