Create a Painting with Pendulums
Here's a new painting style for your preschooler to try: make easy pendulum paintings! All you need is a funnel, some paint, and a blank canvas, and you can really get into the 'swing' of things.
Grow Grass...and a Pet
Give your child a chance to helm her very own experiment with a few simple supplies that will show her how things grow. And throw in something extra to up the fun factor even more...her very own grass pet.
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.
Underwater I Spy Alphabet Bottle
This alphabet bottle is fun to make and a great activity to keep your child busy, while helping her recognize letters in a creative way.
Make a Science Discovery Table!
Kindergarten scientists love to touch, manipulate, and generally "check out" natural items such as snake skins, seashells, and pine cones. Nurture this curiosity with this "discovery table" for your home.
Play Shoe Box Croquet
There's no need to buy an expensive croquet set to get your child familiar with the sport. This game is fun for the whole family and will improve your child's hand-eye coordination.
Make an Alphabet Memory Game
Learning the alphabet and letter sounds is extra fun if you play a game that you and your child made together! This game is very inexpensive to make and allows your child to practice using scissors and glue.
