Play Dart Balls
Make a fun dartboard for your child to play with. Real darts are pointy and unsafe, but this activity works hand-eye coordination using homemade ping pong "darts"!
"Stained Glass" Leaf Window Art
First-graders spend a lot of time learning to identify, group, and categorize natural phenomena all around them. In this activity, help your first grader investigate and categorize leaves while you create a beautiful and classic window decoration together.
Make a Cupid's Arrow Tossing Game
Your child can take on Cupid's role by orchestrating an arrow tossing game among some friends.
Homemade Sidewalk Chalk
Any excuse is a good excuse to get outside. And homemade chalk ranks right up there! Not only will making your own chalk bring hours of hopscotch and drawing entertainment, but all that sidewalk fun builds the hand muscles, which helps young kids as they learn to write.
Play Firefly Flash Tag!
With more energy than a typical game of tag, firefly flash tag is a great way to get your kids outdoors and running around during the dog days (or nights) of summer.
Create a Homemade Snow Globe
With this holiday project, your child will have the chance to express herself creatively and conjure up the many ways a snowy landscape can take shape.
Make Your Own Cloud!
As they say, a picture's worth a thousand words. Rather than tell your kids how clouds are formed when warm and cold air meet, show them.
Be a Detail Artist!
Does your young writer need help taking her writing to the next level? This activity will beef up her descriptive writing skills and make it fun by adding some art work into the mix.
Make Alphabet Monster Cards
Make your own personalized set of letter flash cards to get your preschooler thinking about the alphabet while boosting his fine motor skills in the process.
Make a Valentine Lollypop Greeting
Sure, you can go out and buy a box of Valentine cards--but for a special message try this simple craft activity to make someone's day.
