Encourage your child to explore her favorite fairy tale, and learn about characters, plot, setting and story sequence as she draws her own pictures.

In this design thinking activity, your child will choose an animal to research, learn about the animal’s habitat, and then replicate the animal's habitat using household items.

In this activity, your first grader will practice calendar skills, observe the weather and learns to read calendar words. Here's how to get started:

Make a Santa-shaped "wish card" holder for your child...and sneak in some solid practice in reading and writing, too!

Send your child on a table of contents treasure hunt to help build basic research skills! Navigating a book is a skill that is sure to come in handy later on.

This goofy scramble book activity will bring laughs...but also some good, solid comprehension skills too!

Let your future scribe's imagination run wild! Children have a hard time understanding fact versus fiction, and writing a tall tale can help.

Practice reading and writing by helping your first grader create a family recipe book!

Children research and make a timeline of an inspiring woman in this biography activity.
