Thinking Outside the Box
Many skills are used when cooking. Sounding out words in recipes and reading ingredients from packets can help children become better readers and spellers. Also cooking is a great way to help your child with math, chemistry, and even geography.
Activity to Try
Visit your local library. This time of year libraries often host seasonal events including special story hours, crafts, games, and snacks.
Think about donating books your child has outgrown. Many libraries sell gently used books for $.25 to $.50. You can replace the books you donate with more age appropriate books for very little money. Often the money these books bring in goes to hosting the seasonal events.
