Make up a cooperative story by?letting each person add one sentence.?Start with characters and a simple plot, like “a dog and cat went to the beach,” and let the children take it from there. The sillier, the better!Arts and craftsStuffed Animals You really can make a lovable stuffed animal (or insect!) with only four things: markers, construction paper, a stapler and recycled newspaper. It’s so easy and gets the kids excited every time. Put two pieces of paper together, draw your animal’s outline, and cut it out, making two identical shapes. Decorate color?and add as much detail as desired. Then staple the two pieces together about halfway. Now for the fun part:?Stuffing! Use pillow stuffing from a craft store, or just rip and ball up newspaper, and begin stuffing it into your creation. When fully stuffed, staple closed?and you’ve got a keeper!?Sorting and Pattern-makingIce cube tray Here’s another way to mix math, art?and fine motor skills. You’ll need an ice cube tray, egg container or muffin tin, plus small items to play with, such as various dried beans, buttons, coins or marbles. Jewelry, like plastic rings or earrings have that lost their partner, makes it extra exciting. Your child can sort the items (by color, size, pattern or any way they like), make patterns with them?or invent their own game. There are tons of possibilities and no right answers; this type of play blends logical thinking and mathematical reasoning with creativity. For extra fun and challenge, use tweezers or clothespins to pick up the items.Science Water play Most preschools have a water table that children use for sensory exploration, dramatic play?and more. You can make your own using any sized plastic tub. Let kids use cups or pitchers to fill it with water. Add natural materials like rocks or crystals, household items like spoons, measuring cups and bowls?or any little plastic toys they like. Then let the fun begin! It’s amazing to see the stories children build from just these few items. Sensory play is open-ended, engaging?and can also be surprisingly calming for kinesthetic learners. ................
