Go on an Alphabet Photo Shoot
Most preschoolers love to pretend. You can use this to your advantage, with an activity that will make them feel all grown up. As your child plays photographer, snapping pictures around the yard, he'll also be practicing recognizing letter sounds, which will help him learn to read.
Create a Bread Sculpture
There's nothing quite like the smell of baking bread. Here's an activity that will get your child to have some gooey fun while making something delicious to eat. Create bread dough sculptures!
Paint with Bubbles!
Want to create some really unusual paintings? With a small container of bubbles and a little paint, your kids can put soap suds to work, and make some beautiful prints to hang on their bedroom walls, too!
Homemade Letter Bingo
How do you spell fun and learning? B-I-N-G-O! Kids learn through play. And letter or number bingo is a great place to start.
Fossilize Your Footprints
Paleontologists, best known for studying dinosaurs, investigate prehistoric life by digging up and looking at fossils, or remains (like imprints or skeletons) that have turned into rock. This fun-filled plaster cast activity is sure to leave an impression!
Make Truck Tracks!
Using different tools to express oneself through paint is a preschoolerâs dream. Create fun and imaginative works of art by using trucks to paint on paper in this activity.
Play Animal Exercises
Preschoolers need to practice hopping, skipping, and other "gross motor" skills to improve their coordination. Why not make it fun by challenging them to move like their favorite animals until the music stops and it's time to freeze.
Explore the Senses with 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!
Make a Pull-Along Canister Train
Your child may have fallen in love with certain brand-name trains, but it's just as much fun to make your own - and a whole lot cheaper. Here's how.
Play Alphabet Match-up!
Research shows that children who know the names and sounds of letters when they enter school, learn to read sooner. You can help! This activity uses a clothesline, clothespins, and pictures to work on alphabet sounds.
