Build artistic awareness and explore color and texture combinations by making a sunny summer sky collage. The next time the weather is warm and the sky is clear, try doing this fun craft project with your preschooler.
Play the Card Challenge Game!
Tell your child you want to work on kindergarten readiness skills and she's not likely to get very excited. But turn it into a game and it's a different story. This game of challenges is a blast to play, and in between all the hopping, jumping, and drawing, it helps develop important skills.
