In this science fair project, young children will become aware of and have the opportunity to experience the four basic tastes: sweet, sour, salty, and bitter.

Make a kindergarten "discovery table" that reinforces both science and writing skills. Here's how:

Children use their design thinking skills and powers of observation to create and construct a bird nest.

Make an edible play dough with your child to help her develop her sensory and motor skills.

Check out this silly game that will put your kid's animal habitat knowledge (and acting skills) to the test.

In this simple and social activity, children use size comparison skills to find objects in nature that are bigger, smaller, longer, and shorter.

Help your child hunt and capture bugs to observe to practice important science skills and satisfy her curiosity simultaneously!

This is a fun and inexpensive project and it's a great way for your child to build basic geometry skills, like shape recognition and pattern/angle familiarity.

Use this fun activity to make an optical illusion picture that helps your kindergartener explore the sense of sight, and sharpen his observation skills!

This two-ingredient dough, sometimes called "moon sand," is a quick and cheap way to let kids explore their senses, build fine motor skills, and play.

Summer is a great time to work on pre-kindergarten skills that will serve your child well in her first year at school, while having some fun in the sun!

This simple project makes young children aware of their sense of smell and its capacity for providing them with information about their world.

This project makes young children uniquely aware of their sense of touch and its ability to alone give them information about the world around them.

This project is a vivid, concrete introduction to the basic but important idea that plants need sunlight and water to grow.

What better way to nurture your child's imagination than by making a fairy house out of materials found in nature!
