2-6s Imaginary Trips & Adventures Week at the Summer Reading Club

Try these activities at home to go along with the Imaginary Trips & Adventures theme this week at the 2-6s Summer Reading Club.
1. Let's Roll - Attach a 6-8' length of PVC pipe to the wall or along a fence, at a slight angle.  The kids can have fun running the cars thru the pipe.

2. Make a travel collage with pictures from your travels or look through magazines and catalogs to find pictures of things that go on land, in water, and in the air.

3. Make a camera to record your adventures.

4. Make binoculars to look at new lands.

5. Send a boat on the water - Cut an index card to a 2 1/2 inch wide by 1 1/2 inch long triangle. Cut a small notch on the back (not the point of the triangle). Place the card on water. Pour a small amount of dish detergent into the notch and watch it push the sail boat across the water!

6. Pretend to be a pilot and throw paper airplanes.
7. Make brownie sailboatsbus crackers, and train sandwiches.
Use your imagination and see what places you can explore this week!
