Lacing Cards: For this activity, you will need cardboard or a sheet of foam, shoe laces or yarn, pen, scissors, and a hole puncher. Select a shape that you would like to use and cut it out of your cardboard or foam. Use a hole puncher or scissors to make holes around the edges. Let your child practice lacing through the holes of the foam using string or shoe laces.

Science / Cooking
Creative Enrichment Cookbook: Since we have been unable to hold enrichment classes this spring and everyone is staying home, Lori Horwitz from Creative Enrichment thought the TIPS families would enjoy a free downloadable copy of the Young Chef cookbook.

Gross Motor Play
Play Tag as a Family: This is a very simple game that you can play outdoors or indoors. The game starts with one person being "it". That person chases the other person/people around, trying to tag one of them with their hand. The newly tagged person is now "it". The game ends when everyone is tired of playing.
Outdoor Time
Paint like Monet: Have you painted outside? This is a fun activity for the whole family! Gather paint (any kind), paintbrushes, paper, and a cup for water. Go outside and have your child find a perfect spot to paint. Have your child paint what they see.
*If you do not want to use paint, you can also gather crayons or markers to use outside.
