What are some good activities for a 5 yr old?

Question

She loves to make stuff in the kitchen... but I'd rather not do baking or anything. What are some fun recipes for different crafts?

Or any other ideas would be great! Thanks!

Answer 4

I think finger painting, making mud pies in the back yard, planting seeds and watching them grow.  A walk through the woods and teach her about nature as you go.  A trip to the local museum.  Go to the library and check out some fun activities books or look it up online.  Gather leaves and together name the leaves and press them between wax paper.  Make a plaster hand print of her hand.  Make a bead neckless.  Scavenger hunt with items in the house.

Answer 5

My daughter, when she was 5, loved making cookies from ready made cookie dough.  Its easy, she gets hands on experience and gooeyness to l**k off her fingers, plus she gets to do it with her family.  If you do this, Teach her oven safety.

My kids always liked to make home made play dough. All you need is flour, water, salt and oil. It is kinda like "cooking" and they can play with it. Just store it in the refridgerator and it will keep for a few days. You can also add food coloring to make different colors!
