Play Patterns on the Move
Forget plaid! In preschool, patterning takes on a whole new meaning. Patterning lays the foundation for math and even reading. But it doesn't need to be boring. In this game, which is like a hopped up version of Simon Says, kids will use their bodies to create patterns.
Make an Easy Tubescope
Similar to the kaleidoscope but much easier to make, the tubescope is a great activity for your preschooler to experiment with colors and shapes while creating something beautiful for the whole family to enjoy!
Make a Love Bug for Someone Special
A handmade "love bug" is an adorable way to say "I love you", and a great technique to improve your child's fine motor skills!
Color Blending Rainbow
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet â create a rainbow of colors out of the three primaries (and white)! Help your child to learn about the science of color through this thoroughly experimental art activity.
Make a Plaster Bag Sculpture
Plaster sculptures are fun to make, but they're a little messy. Never fear: in this activity, your preschooler can experience the tactile gooiness of plaster without all the mess.
Be a Number Hero!
Who wouldn't want to be a hero for a day? Give your child the chance to feel heroic as he rescues numbers from danger and improves his counting and language skills while he's at it.
Make Monster Balloons!
These goofy goblins make great decorations, or monster pets perfect for pretend play. Decorating them also gives little hands some fine motor practice, strengthening their fingers for writing.
Pin the Star on the Christmas Tree!
Your little preschool elf will develop some important fine motor skills while creating an entertaining game: Pin the Star on the Christmas Tree!
Order Lengths of Yarn
Have your child physically cut and arrange pieces of yarn to teach him the concepts of order and length. In the end, he will have a final product that will help him remember these ideas!
Learn Insect Anatomy With a Movable Mantis Puppet!
Insects are fascinating creatures, but they're awfully small and difficult to see, not to mention a little nerve-racking for some parents. This art-project-turned-anatomy-lesson will give your child a larger than life model for scientific scrutiny, right down to the movable legs!
