Repeat, then Eat!: A Patterning Game
This incredibly edible activity gives kindergartners the chance to practice identifying, copying and extending basic patterns. Sure it's fun (and delicious!) but it will also help kids lay the foundation for math, reading, and other curriculum cornerstones.
Make Like a Bird and Nest
Ask your child how he thinks a bird makes its nest. Then tell him you are going to be like birds today and make your own nests out of natural materials like grass and leaves!
How Old is That Tree?
We can't ask a tree how old it is, but there is a way to find out without chopping it down. Try this simple activity with your child to guesstimate the age of a tree in your yard and nurture her developing math skills while you're at it!
