When the wind starts blowing, you and your child can plant a sponge garden in the comfort of your own kitchen. Here's how:

The garden is the perfect place to practice math and science with preschoolers. Get digging (and counting, sorting, observing at the same time!)

Grow a garden with an environmentally-friendly twist by using plant scraps that usually get thrown away.

Learning about how plants grow is a building block in the early grades science curriculum. Put a fun twist on this life science concept with these cup monster friends!

Your child can re-use and re-purpose old seeds and paper into something new: decorated paper that can be planted!

Using plants and other items from the outdoors and clothing they already own, your kids can dress up as any one of the four seasons or simply as a Garden.

It's springtime! Time to get outside and dig! Once seeds go into the ground, invite your child to mark the spot in style.

This hanging wall pot made from homemade clay is a perfect arts and crafts activity for preschoolers.

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!

Show your preschooler how to construct this very special planter for Mom. It makes a great pick-me-up, and it's easy for kids to make in a flash!

Help your preschooler practice observing and experimenting with this exciting activity where they'll get to examine objects below the water's surface!

A great way to cultivate awareness, focus and attention in the present is through movement. Mindful movement can also decrease stress and anxiety and increase calm.

Enjoy the beautiful outdoors and indulge in a colorful game of I Spy while you're at it! It's just as fun as classic I Spy but twice as educational.

This slightly tweaked version of "Hide and Go Seek" hones listening: a key skill for kindergarten.

Give your child a chance to experiment with how things grow. And throw in something extra to up the fun factor even more...her very own grass pet!
