Here's Twist 'N Turn: let your preschooler or pre-kindergartener be outside and active while learning about shapes, colors, directions, and word recognition.

You don't need to spend big bucks to buy a pre-boxed version of a matching game at the store. You can make your own easily. Here's how:

Tell your child you want to work on kindergarten readiness skills and she's not likely to jump up and clap. But turn it into a game and it's a different story.

Play Number Dash with your preschooler and help them learn to identify numbers, write numbers and learn about organized play.

It's a race against time to see how quickly she can color match and correctly place all of the water beads!

In this leap frog activity, your child will use her muscles to jump over her friends and onto lily pads as she practices number recognition.

Strengthen your child's number recognition skills with this fun game using an old, empty egg carton!

Picking words out can be tricky. In this early reading activity, your child will place letter markers on a grid to make words appear out of the jumble.
