It’s After School Linky Party time! Are your kids back at school yet? Mine started back today. It’s going to take a couple of days to get back in the rhythm of school days, so this is definitely the week to take it easy on after school activities. Play a game, make simple art, or do one of the fun activities included in this link-up.
I’ve pulled together five of my favorite ideas from last week in this after-school planner. Have fun playing and learning together!
Day 1: Play the Dictionary Game with Grandma Ideas. This sounds like so much fun!
Day 2: Watch a science video. PragmaticMom’s son curated this awesome list of fun videos.
Day 3: Make some cool art work. The Educators’ Spin on It shows you how to create this pretty winter birch tree painting.
Day 4: Practice writing by making a homemade book. Growing Book by Book has a great round-up of simple DIY books.
Day 5: Build a place value snowman with this printable from Math Geek Mama.
Check the linky below for even more great ideas.
