Make a book, go word fishing, or send kids on a shape scavenger hunt. Here are dozens of things to do with your kindergarten child.

Craft a Mini Totem Pole
Do this artistic activity to teach your child about the beautiful totem pole carvings of the Pacific Northwest Native American tribes! Use spools and markers to create a mini totem pole detailing important dates in your child's life.
Weave a Colorful Yarn Mosaic
While most common mosaics use stone or glass, this project for preschoolers relies on the more suitable substances of yarn and non-toxic glue. In this activity, encourage your child to practice her scissor skills and help her weave a beautiful and bright yarn mosaic.
Create Your Own Paintbrushes!
Using only the elements in your backyard, make paintbrushes with your child and create truly homemade works of art.

Create a "Hand"-Made Winter Wreath
This winter season, let your child have a "hand" in decorating the house by creating a festive wreath made entirely out of handprint cut-outs.
Play Elbow Tag
This is a more challenging game of tag because children have to run while "attached" to someone else, but children love the challenge!
