Let’s Get Creative

Right now is the time to get the glitter out, scissors ready and glue to squeeze!

As hard as it is to home-school children, it can also be exciting and forever fun. Here are five incredible crafts that are worth the mess while also worth the learning. Five crafts and five different subjects to help you and your child experience learning in a creative way.  These crafts are made for students who are Kindergarten up to second grade. Each craft can be differentiated with the level of hardness and messiness in case the mess-stress is to real for you in this uncertain time. Now let’s get messy!

Five Ways to Play

    1.  Math Muffin Madness

Hopefully you have some type of cupcake or muffin tray sitting around waiting to be used. Well, dust it off and get ready to play! Using cupcake papers or sticky notes, write a number on the bottom of the tray and have the kid place buttons (or any small object) into the cupcake tray with the matching number amount. To make it harder, you can make it money oriented. This can be done by using coins and writing money amounts on the cupcake liner instead of whole numbers. This activity can help children with simple counting!

2. Pepper and Soap Magic

Four ingredients to make your kid say “Wow!”. A bowl, dish soap, pepper and and water. Simple as that. This is a fun science trick that teaches surface tension but can also be used to help little kids understand germs. Especially with todays circumstances learning about germs in a fun way can also make it less scary. This can help kids understand the importance of washing hands and surface tension!

3. Hop-Scotch Crazy

Getting outside on a sunny day to learn some sight words is what learning is all about!! Using chalk, or taping papers on your sidewalk, driveway, or deck you can teach your kids sight words. Not only will it get you outside, but its a great opportunity to teach sight words to your child. Write a site word in a hop-scotch block and have your kid hop, hop, hop one words until they get it right! To make it harder, you can have your child spell out the sight words, or even write the words themselves.

4. Where Do We Live?

This fun activity can help your child learn about the world they live in. This can be done with colored paper, print-outs, or homemade pieces! This gives the child a chance to think about the house they live in and the street, city, state, country, continent, and planet. This can be done as a booklet, or a flip booklet like the link shows.

5.  READO

Little kids may not love reading, but they do love winning games. READO is the same as BINGO and can be used for MATHO, SCIENCEO, etc. This will make reading fun for kids. This activity is nice because you can do a READO activity each morning, night, after dinner, etc. You can do this activity can be done once a day, once a week, or once every hour if the boredom really is getting to you and your child!

 

Easy as Pie

Sometimes it can be hard being home with children. It’s easy to stick a TV in front of kids and let the TV teach them. Some parents will, and that’s okay. But some parents will not and these five crafts above are not only fun but can help a bond grow between you and the child. Also, it will show you how strong you can be faced in a time of fear.
