This slightly messy, but tons-of-fun tactile activity will cement the idea of the land and water as pictured on maps in your young learner's mind.

Have your little astronaut create her own crater-filled moon with this fun craft project that encourages learning about the final frontier.

Here's an arts and crafts activity for preschoolers and pre-kindergarteners: build brick buildings with homemade mud bricks made from dirt and water.

This crafty activity provides a hands-on way for your child to illustrate how the trees look during each season of the year.

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

This simple activity is not only fun, it's also a useful way to organize children's closets — and offer kids some autonomy to boot.

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!
