At Home Activity: Window Garden

Does your little one have a tiny green thumb?

Today’s at home activity is the perfect way to find out.

You may not know this (many of us certainly didn’t), but remember those dried beans hiding in your cabinet or pantry? You can actually plant one of those beans and watch it sprout into a plant!

At Home Activity: DIY Constellations

During all this social distancing, our worlds have gotten much smaller—our morning coffee, dinner dates, family outings, staff meetings, workouts, and children’s educations all take place in the same spot: our homes.

And as much as our lives have changed, so have our children’s lives, especially if they’re school-aged.

But what if we told you that, in the height of the Coronavirus quarantine, you can make your world seem as big as outer space?

At Home Activity: Animal Tracks

Since the days of just sending our little ones outside to play with the neighbors are at a halt for now, today’s at home activity focuses on something you can do with your littles outside: search for animal tracks!

This guided activity lets you and your little ones tap into your Discovery Channel sensibilities. Exploring the mud (or dare we even mention it this late in the year, snow!) is a great way to pique your children’s curiosities about animals, nature, and biology. Plus, you might learn a few things along the way.
