The activities provide ideas and guidelines for children to develop through making, role-play, games and projects.
Ideas include experiments, healthy recipes, a windowsill herb garden, decoupage, salt dough, terrariums and kaleidoscopes.
Before starting, check the materials, workspace and instructions for the chosen activity. Recipes, experiments, craft tools and trick-based play may call for an adult to adapt or supervise what happens.
