Here's Twist 'N Turn: let your preschooler or pre-kindergartener be outside and active while learning about shapes, colors, directions, and word recognition.

You don't need to spend big bucks to buy a pre-boxed version of a matching game at the store. You can make your own easily. Here's how:

Tell your child you want to work on kindergarten readiness skills and she's not likely to jump up and clap. But turn it into a game and it's a different story.

Play Number Dash with your preschooler and help them learn to identify numbers, write numbers and learn about organized play.

In this leap frog activity, your child will use her muscles to jump over her friends and onto lily pads as she practices number recognition.

Strengthen your child's number recognition skills with this fun game using an old, empty egg carton!

Send your child on a hunt throughout the house for numbers to help develop her number recognition and ordering skills.
