Kids ply their creativity in this cute and clever mask activity. The best part? You can make it using recycled materials from around the house.
Make a Paper Chain
You don't have to wait till Christmas to hang garlands around the house. Here's a fun activity that helps kids learn to cut on a line and helps you overcome your scissor fears.
Plant an Indoor Sponge Garden
In most of the country it's impossible to do year-round. When the wind starts howling, help your child plant a sponge garden in the comfort of your warm and dry kitchen.
Go on a Direction Scavenger Hunt
This scavenger hunt is like a revamped version of the childhood game, "Hot and Cold". Instead of telling the seeker if he's getting "warmer" or "colder" as he narrows in on a hidden object, you'll use words like up, down, over, and under.
Illustrate a Famous Book!
What if your child couldn't see the pictures in her favorite illustrated books? In this activity, she'll listen to a story without looking at it, and create her own images.
Have Fun with Yellow Science
Here's an easy and fun science project that uses all things yellow! It's exciting for your preschooler because she'll get to watch substances mix together, and you'll love it because it will help her increase observation and comparing skills!
Jump to It!: A Counting Game
Your child can reel off his numbers. But does he have a real handle on what those numbers mean? This jumping game gets math off the page and into the real world-- and it works on both number sense and estimation, key skills for kindergarten readiness.
Make Your Own Ball Catch
This toilet plunger ball catch is entertaining and easy to make!
Paper Plate Art: Sunny Side Up!
Looking for something to do on a rainy day? Let the sun in! This project uses supplies you probably already have in the house and turns them into a sunshiny project that will work your preschooler's fine motor skills (the muscles in the hand they need to strengthen to learn to write.)
