Fine Motor Practice
  • Cutting Mazes: This is a great activity for helping your child with scissor skills. Draw or have your child draw a maze on a sheet of paper. Invite your child to use scissors to go through the maze. How big of a maze can you make?
Art 
  • Make Your Own Scratch Art: For this activity, you will need paper ( the sturdier, the better), crayons, black paint, dish soap, a paintbrush, and q-tips ( or toothpicks). First, cover your paper with crayon drawings until the entire sheet is full of color. Mix a small amount of dish soap with the black paint. Paint over the crayon drawings with a layer of the paint mixture. Scratch your pictures and designs through the surface of the paint with q-tips. 
Science / Cooking
  • Chromatography: Chromatography is the separation of a mixture (marker) by passing it in a solution (water) through a medium (coffee filter or paper towel) in which the parts of the mixture move at different rates. This activity is great for showing your child how many colors are used to create other colors. For this experiment, you will need coffee filters, markers, and a small container of water. You can also use paper towels if you do not have coffee filters. Start by inviting your child to use the markers to color on the coffee filter. You can experiment with different colors, different designs, and where on the filter you draw. Next, fold the coffee filter in half a few times so it becomes a wedge-shape. This will create a point where the center of the filter is. Place the filter into a container with a small amount of water at the bottom. *This activity works better when only the very bottom of the filter is touching the water. Wait 5 to 10 minutes for the water to seep up through the filter, carrying the marker ink and spreading the color throughout the filter. Then unfold your filter and lay it flat to dry. 
Gross Motor Play
  • Sock Basketball: This is a great game to get your child moving with items you have at home! Grab some socks and roll them into a ball. Find a clothes hamper, bucket, or use a sheet of paper on the floor for a target. Invite your child to practice throwing the socks into the hamper. Try throwing from different distances away from the hamper.

  • Spring Scavenger Hunt: Go for a walk outside and look for all of the items that you see, hear, feel, or smell.
