After School Link-Up

By thisreadingmama 5 Comments

What are you doing this summer to cultivate curiosity in your kids?  Share it here in our After School Link Up!  There were some great ideas shared last week.  Here are some of my favorites:

Draw a lifesize whale

This activity works GREAT for getting kids to visualize what they read!  Love it! {KC Edventures}

Exploring science is something most kids like to do.  They get permission to play with things that are usually “off limits”; at least at my house.  That’s why I really like this Sink or Float Science Activity by Buggy and Buddy.  {Plus, there’s a free printable!}

My own kids love using reading pointers and these ideas are super cute! {from Growing Book by Book}
