Answer 3

How about painting rocks

Baking cookies

Drawing with chalk on sidewalk

Making animals with pipe cleaners

Creating an art gallery - painting pictures and hanging on a clothes line or fence.

Build a fort outside = old blanket over a table = perfect for reading books.

Nature hunt in the backyard - find acorns, pinecones, bird feather, shiny rocks etc.

Cut old magazines and make "my favorite" books - pictures of cats, dogs, or whatever the girls think their favorites are.

Down load some coloring pages off the internet.

Make paper chains for 4th of July celebration.

Decorate their bikes for a fun parade.

Play school or house with stuffed animals.

Hide and go seek

Make paper airplanes, color, dress-up, old maid, go fish (pair wit three y/o, concentration, i spy (say "i spy" something blue and they have to guess what you were looking at, etc)

Fold shapes or cut shapes with safety scissors, sit on ground with legs open and roll ball to each other

Blow bubbles, guess images in the clouds

Read stories, or just sit on floor or ground with them and let them make something up.

Go on the internet and check out activities and games for 3-5 year olds - there's a lot of them.

Don't forget to involve them in making their lunch = they can put their own sandwich together = then have a picnic outside - or even in the tent you build.

Good luck.

Answer 4

Hmm, an original idea would be to have them make those vision boards the Law of Attraction people talk about - but it may be a better project for the 5-year-olds.

To make the vision boards, the children could look through magazines and cut out all the pictures of things they like and maybe want in their lives, and paste those pictures onto posterboards. They can also draw (using markers, crayons, whatever) all they things they want in life and in their futures (like if someone wants to be a doctor, s/he can draw of picture of him/herself as a grown-up doctor). They can get real creative with this too, by using glitter and maybe some stencils, stamps, and all that fun stuff to make their posterboard extra-personal.

Whether anyone believes in the Law of Attraction or not, it could be fun for the kids to put all their dreams on a poster, and visualize all the things they want in life.

I'm sorry I can't think of anything for the younger children.
