Any Cool Games, Crafts, or ect. To Do?

Question

I have a small 5 year-old cousin going into kindergarten that will be coming over soon. She is really smart, she can read 1st grade level books and is pretty much smarter than her almost 7-year-old brother. I was wondering if there were any games, crafts or recipes I could use/play with her and/or other children around her age. Any suggestions/ideas/websites?

Answer 1

There are tons of fun things for kids that age. I always try to put a book with whatever art project I am teaching. For example I do 5 little monkeys. Then I make finger puppet monkeys to go along with the song. Then we make a monkey mask out of a paper plate. I use a Popsicle stick for a handle on the mask. Kind of like a kabuki mask.

You can use a book, story or finger play with pretty much anything you do.

Have fun!  

Answer 2

coolmath4kids.com was always a favorite of mine when I was small. Some games on it involve math and others are there just for fun. If your cousin is as smart as you make her seem, this site should be perfect.
