Arts and crafts?

Jesse Pirieda: Use chalk and water on the drive to create some tye dye effects. You can also have him use the chalk to create an obstacle course. Pictures of bears for the bear crawl, letters to jump to in order, lines to ride in between. If you have a big enough drive, it can take hours and be educational. Besides, my experience is that 5 year old boys don't sit still long enough to do true arts and crafts. Also try paper airplane making. There are website that can give you some ideas on making unique paper airplanes....Show more

Bryant Chaudhry: Not craft, exactly, but my son and I spent a fun couple of days doing this: http://www.diceyhome.free-online.co.uk/KatePages/R...He put most of the castle together, decided on the story, set up all the scenes (with a bit of my help), and I took the pix. He did a few of those, too... I did the typing, but most of the words are his. He was about 7 or 8 when we did it, but he'd been doing similar things since he was v! ery small. Thios one just HAD to be documented, though... :DYou could also introduce him to tub gardening, and grow herbs....Show more
