Monday: Name Rockets. Write your child's name on a piece of paper and count how many letters are in their name. With different colors of construction paper, cut out the corresponding number of squares and write one letter on each of the squares. Have them build the rocket going letter by letter. Then add wings and a nose.
Tuesday:Phases of the moon oreos. Read "Faces of the Moon" and talk all about the illustrations and the moon. On a piece of paper, draw the moon in the phases: New moon, first quarter, full moon, and third quarter. Carefully remove one side of each oreo so the cream stays on one side of the cookie. (you get to eat the other side.) With a popsicle stick or spoon draw a line on each of the oreos and show which part of the cream they should scrape off. As they complete each phase, they can set it onto the paper and match it up. At the end they can eat them all.
Wednesday: Alien spaceship. Read "The Way Back Home". Use paper plates and whatever you can find to create an alien spaceship.
Thursday: Fly swatter sun. Cut a large circle out of paper. Place several globs of paint all over the circle and put a larger piece of paper under it. Now, your child can "swat" the paint all around to create a sun.
Friday: Moon sand. In a large bowl combine 2 cups of flour and 1/4 cup baby oil. Mix together. Play with it as you wish. It clumps together so you can make molds.
