Go on a Math Treasure Hunt
There's nothing like a treasure hunt to get kids excited. The good news is that all that pirate booty can be used to boost their math skills. Here's how to work the numbers as they sort their loot.
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!
Build a Fossil!
Does your child know that fossils are the reason that we know all about dinosaurs? This activity works well with a group or just with a parent and child, and it can make a great party game since it's both fun and inexpensive.
Cartography for Kids
Chances are your kindergartner knows every nook and cranny in your house, but what about her knowledge of the world outside? Expand her geographic awareness with these fun and easy map lessons.

You've been talking about this vacation for years. You've saved the money and hoarded your days off from work. Your fifth grader is even, finally, old enough to savor the sights. It's a dream! There's just one teeny problem: it's about five hundred miles in the car, each way.

You don't need to reinvent the wheel to give your kids a lesson in simple mechanics.
The Guess-timation Game
