Make Popsicle Puppets...and Practice Communication
How many times a day do you say "Use your words, not your hands" to your young children? Probably more than you'd like to count! Preschoolers need to learn about conflict resolution. And puppets can help!
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.
Ping Pong Patterns
This activity is a craft project and a math workshop all in one! Use colored ping-pong balls to encourage your child to imitate, extend, and create patterns.
Lace the ABCs!
Lacing is a great way to practice hand-eye coordination, which will help later with writing. Turn it into a fun preschool art project, by stringing up some ABCs!
Create a Salad Spinner Painting
Here's a great way to put a new "spin" on your child's old art routine: use a salad spinner to paint fun designs on paper.
