• Discuss the season and the changes in the sky and weather - now and then make observations about the sun being in the southern sky in winter and the northern sky in summer and how that changes the light and shadows.
• Go out and observe the night sky together - ponder together the mysteries of what's out there, and share a little of what you know about the stars. Find book that might help add to observation.
• Sprout and root bulbs or seeds indoors.
• Put a folded wet paper towel flat around the inside of a clear glass jar. Have your child insert a few beans between the paper and glass. Keep beans wet and watch together as the miracle of life is demonstrated in the sprouting bean.
• Grow a sweet potato vine or avocado seed in water, grow a miniature garden - there are lots of fun things you can do with plants.
• Plant a little garden or grow some plants in pots. Then construct a scarecrow, and make a string bean teepee. Plant Morning Glories and enjoy their amazing beauty in the mornings.
• Introduce your child to music, songs, dancing, and maybe even marching to music.
• Learn and say rhymes together - check out some children's books of nursery rhymes and other fun rhymes.
• Tell or read fairy tales - the old stories that have been handed down generation to generation but have been sadly lost amidst the activity in our faster paced modern world. Use also some good audio tapes of fairy tales.
• Encourage them to have fun learning about their bodies and what they can do! Run, hop skip, climb, slide, swing - play fun, active games.
• Find local homeschool support groups for playtimes and little field trips with other homeschooling families.
• Find interesting things to see and do in your community or on short trips - including parks, museums, and many other wonderful resources. For local ideas, check on the Internet and with travel books, also with your chamber of commerce. You will presumably be amazed to find what's right near you.
• Provide a sandbox or sand table and sand toys, including figures of people and animals.
