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!

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!

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

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!

Teach your child about healthy foods and how to make a meal that is good for them with this fun activity that you both can do together.

Make this easy composting dessert and then enjoy the yummy results!

Roasting pumpkin seeds makes for a great Halloween activity, and a healthy snack!

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

In the mood for a bit of silly science? Help your child create a truly one-of-a-kind planter out of a potato head!

Help your little one figure out the differences between the worlds of air, land and water, a huge step in understanding how our environment works.

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

If you find yourself with a pair of kids' rain boots too cute to toss and too worn to wear, try making this fun and easy planter.
