It's time to head back to school, your kids will be grabbing their backpacks and running for the bus. To make this the best school year ever we have put together some resources to prepare your children and yourself for a successful school year.
The bell has rung and school is out—what's a kid to do? After School Stuff is a new activity and craft series for midgraders filled with creative projects and plenty of suggestions to help kids make the most of their weekday afternoons. Kids will never again be bored after school. The first title, After School Stuff, includes quickie experiments, easy crafts, silly games, after-school snacks, playful skits, and more. Goofy, fun jokes and riddles appear throughout. In Cool Crafts, kids will have fun learning how to create a variety of silly and kooky crafts, made primarily with materials found around the home. Most of the crafts take only an afternoon to put together and need little parental involvement.
For each day of the year, The Children Busy Book suggests creative games and activities to occupy children aged 1 1/2 years to 3 years. Activities include arts and crafts, fun food ideas, color and shape matching, nursery songs, and making "instruments" out of household scraps. The book is sprinkled with humorous and insightful quotes on life with young children.
365 After School Activities: Tv-Free Fun for Kids 7-12 is designed to entertain and educate grade schoolers -without television-during those valuable afterschool hours and beyond.
