Craft Personalized Postcards
Making personalized postcards is the perfect rainy day project--especially when your child gets to decorate the photos and write meaningful messages. And while it feels like a craft, it also gives kids a chance to hone writing skills-- key to third grade.
Sew an Herbal Dream Pillow

Make a Geo Board
Help your third grader build a spirit of discovery and deep understanding of geometrical shapes by making a "geo" board.
Play Indoor Golf with a Do-It-Yourself Putter
Let your child unleash his inner Tiger Woods with this fun activity. Not only will your child create his own golf putter but he'll also design his own putting course in a room of the house and play to his heart's content.
Make Clay Idioms a "Piece of Cake"!
Idioms, words or phrases that have figurative meanings different from their literal ones, can be found everywhere from the books we read to our everyday conversations. Idioms are also inspiration for this fun, hands-on activity!
Hand-Sewn Hot Pad
This pretty and practical hot pad is an excellent way to practice beginning sewing skills. Using hand stitching exclusively, the design's simple geometric shapes also help young sewers build patience, perseverance, and problem-solving skills.
Make an Oil Lantern
This project demonstrates how lighter liquids, such as oil, float atop heavier liquids, such as water. An oil lantern is cool any time of the year, regardless of religion, but makes a great craft for Hanukkah, too!

This project takes its inspiration from the modern artist Keith Haring. His work is a celebration of freedom, right in line with the Fourth of July. Help your fifth grader design a colorful and exciting Fourth of July tablemat that you can use over and over again!
