STEAM
Do you have left over candy from Halloween or Valentine's day? Do you have extra Peeps laying around the house? Use your ingenuity and some sticky sweets to create a catapult, then launch candy to see which type flies the furthest!
Games & Crafts Galore
Lady bugs and pelicans or lucky stars and silly hats! Practice following directions, creating, and crafting with Origami folding fun!
Explore your neighborhood with a scavenger hunt. Print out these templates or draw your own!
Family Fun
Homemade greeting cards are a great way to show off your creativity and let people know that they are appreciated. Take a few minutes each day to create a greeting card for hospital staff, police officers, firemen, or those in senior homes.
