Spoon Puppets
Let your kids use their creativity to draw imaginative characters on the flat
part of a paper plate. Cut out the images and tape them to the ends of
plastic spoons. Then sit back and enjoy as the kids duck behind the sofa
and put on a show with their new cast of spoon-puppet personalities.

Paper Cup Terrarium
Use markers to decorate a paper cup. Fill the cup with soil and place a small green plant inside. Give the plant a companion by adding a toy insect, a butterfly, or even a dinosaur on top of the soil. Cover the plant with a clear plastic cup and tape the two cups together. Place your new terrarium near a sunny window, add a little TLC, and track its growth together.
