Children are imaginative story-builders. Create a shoebox habitat with your child to put those budding creative instincts to good use.

Use reusable, recyclable materials--along with a dose of imagination--to build a castle with first grade geometrical forms.

Use simple items to create a kindergarten "grow box" that lets a kid see just how salad plants send down their roots and grow underground.

Teach your child about recycling and gardening as she re-uses an empty plastic milk gallon jug to craft a swan-shaped plant container!

Forget store-bought dyes this Easter: color your Easter eggs with natural dyes made with ingredients from your own kitchen in this 1st grade activity.
