This two-ingredient dough, sometimes called "moon sand," is a quick and cheap way to let kids explore their senses, build fine motor skills, and play.

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

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!
