One great tool we can lean into is something our kids are naturals at – play. - [International Observe the Moon Night: At-Home Activity](https://kidspacemuseum.org/for-families-at-home/international-observe-the-moon-night/): These sayings all came about because of the Moon's craters! When you look at the Moon you can see dark and light spots on the moon caused by the depth of all the different craters on the lunar surface. Craters are made when another object, like an asteroid or meteorite, collides with the moon creating a deep hole in the surface. The bigger or faster moving the object is, the bigger or deeper the hole that it makes when it hits. We can see what happens when a crater is made by doing this simple demonstration. - [Crickets for Breakfast](https://kidspacemuseum.org/for-families-at-home/crickets-for-breakfast/): Allergy heads-up: some folks who are allergic to crabs, lobster, shrimp and the like are also allergic to other arthropods like crickets and grasshoppers - [Notebooks and Journals for Learning](https://kidspacemuseum.org/for-families-at-home/notebooks-and-journals-for-learning/): https://youtu.be/yym04rcl0M8 - [Simple Sensory Slime](https://kidspacemuseum.org/for-families-at-home/simple-sensory-slime/): Steps: - [Dress Like A Pirate](https://kidspacemuseum.org/for-families-at-home/dress-like-a-pirate/): At Kidspace Children’s Museum, we use imaginative dress-up activities like pirate play to help children build creativity, language skills, and problem-solving abilities.

As an adult, I sometimes struggle with visualizing exactly what my day looks like with meetings, Zoom calls, writing, and remembering to take a lunch break. Our kids are starting a new school year with a completely different schedule than before. They are doing it from home, which means they are missing a lot of the visual cues they get for transitions during the day. This colorful school day clock is an interactive way for students to get a visual feeling of how their day looks by using items you probably already have on hand. - [Construction Paper Creations](https://kidspacemuseum.org/for-families-at-home/construction-paper-creations/): I love arts and craft supplies as much as anyone (maybe even more) from paints, to pens, modeling clay, and pipe cleaners. Sometimes all you need to get your creative juices flowing are a few simple materials. I will show you how to use construction paper to make into various textures, structures, and shapes. Once you learn some of these different paper techniques, you will be amazed at what you are inspired to create! Some may get excited to turn their construction paper creations into a towering city or a topsy-turvy amusement park. Others might create beautiful decorations, pencil holders, boxes, or even things that move. There is so much you can make out of construction paper with different folds and twists. The possibilities and ideas are endless! To get started, you will need: A stack of construction paper Scissors Glue Pen or Pencil Ruler A cylindrical container like a marker, bottle, or tube (optional)  Prep To make most of these different shapes and structures you will want to cut your construction paper into different sized squares and strips of paper. Here are some helpful sizes/shapes to prep: 2 inch wide strips 3 inch wide strips 4 inch wide strips 3 x 3 inch squares 4 x 4 inch squares A good amount to start with would be to make 6-8 of each sized shape. If you find you really like using a particular size or shape, make more. Once you have tried a few of these textures, shapes, and structures get creative and put them together! You will be amazed at all the different and unique projects you can make. If your child needs a little more inspiration, try asking them some of these questions to help build up their creativity and boost up their projects: What color papers would you like to use? What does this paper loop (or other shape) make you think of? How would you add this box (or other shape) to your creation? What are some things we can make with these paper cut outs? What could you add to make your sculpture more secure? How could you make a window? Can you use any of these construction paper shapes to make an animal? If we use these shapes to make a city, what are some buildings and structures you could make out of your construction paper shapes? How might you use your scrap papers?

We all think of s’mores as the fun, messy, sticky, gooey snack that you make when you go camping or over a fire pit. We love the crunchy cracker, melty chocolate, and warm toasted marshmallow. What if you want to indulge in this iconic treat when there isn’t a fire pit handy? Or it’s the middle of the day when the s’mores craving hits? Harness the power of the sun and make a solar oven to “cook” up some fun s’mores treats! - [Sensory Sandcastles](https://kidspacemuseum.org/for-families-at-home/sensory-sandcastles/): When it comes to sandcastles, what is your style?

Geodes are rock structures that are hollow and lined with crystals and layers of minerals. What might be some other ways you can layer watercolor paint to create?         Supply List  Watercolor Water Paper Brush Rock Salt Geodes: Rock and Mineral Formation or Pokémon Character? A personal story from Programs Manager, Heather Grimaldi   I first heard about geodes many years ago, when I was taking a geology class in college. This was also about the same time Pokémon became popular as a card game. I was helping teach science to 5th graders and saw them playing the game during lunch one day. One of the cards had a creature called Geodude on it.   This Pokémon is a round rock with big, muscle arms and a face. I mentioned that he looked just like an actual mineral formation called a geode and the kids didn’t believe me! I brought a geode in to class the next day and we spent our science time learning about what geodes are and how they are formed. Geodes form in areas that were volcanically active many millions of years ago. They started off as pockets in the earth. Depending on the type of rock they formed in, may different things can aid to their creation. For example, in volcanic rock they likely started as bubbles, in sedimentary rock might have been an empty animal burrow or a mud ball. The outer shell of these pockets, bubbles, and balls harden over millions of years leaving the space inside hollow. Water containing silica precipitation (water with tiny bits of silica) and dissolved minerals, seep into the hollow area. As it cools, it forms layers of minerals and crystals! Because different minerals cool at different rates, different crystals form inside each geode. Much like Pokémon, there are lots of people who make geode hunting their hobby! There are several great spots for geode hunting right here in Southern California near Riverside. Places, where geodes are prevalent, are called geode beds. They are usually found in deserts and volcanic ash beds. The largest one in Southern California is called the "Houser Geode Bed". Geodes can also be found in Arizona, Utah, and Nevada. Geodes are also the state rock of Iowa!   If you would like to discover more about geodes, how they form, and where you can look for them, here are some resources: What is a Geode? How to Tell the Difference Between a Geode and a Nodule Desert Prospecting: Geodes Geology.com: Geodes   - [Flower Sensory Bottle](https://kidspacemuseum.org/for-families-at-home/flower-sensory-bottle/): I love making flower sensory bottles. It gives me the opportunity to go outside and explore nature around the museum while I look for my supplies. Collecting the actual supplies is what I enjoy most about this activity. It gives me the opportunity to touch, see, smell, hear, and manipulate the materials.  As much as I love sensory play activities, they can tend to get messy. The sensory bottle offers the same benefits of a sensory bin, but without the mess. They are also easy to store, and you can use them anywhere (park, restaurant, store, car, etc.). - [Abstract Art for Kids: A Fun At-Home Activity](https://kidspacemuseum.org/for-families-at-home/abstract-painting/): “Art does not reproduce what we see.

Anytime it would rain, my backyard would flood and I would play in puddles, make mud pies and set leaf boats floating around the swampy yard. Getting dirty is an important part of developmental play and a significant sensory activity for kids of all ages. Studies show it might even make us feel happy! - [Walk On The Wild Side](https://kidspacemuseum.org/for-families-at-home/walk-on-the-wild-side/): Walking around the neighborhood can be a great way to get outdoors and get some exercise, but you can also use these excursions to engage your family in fun, meaningful play learning! - [Ramp Up The Play!](https://kidspacemuseum.org/for-families-at-home/ramp-up-the-play/): One of my favorite things to do as a kid was to build, especially with random things around the house. From couch cushions, empty boxes, bedding, and pans, it didn’t take a lot for me to see potential in nearly everything that didn’t adhere to the wall or was too heavy for me to lift. Once I discovered that I could recreate a slide, ramps quickly became a go-to component of my creations. They could be constructed with nearly anything, and I could create several versions. - [The Benefits of Spending Time in Nature](https://kidspacemuseum.org/for-families-at-home/the-benefits-of-spending-time-in-nature/): Regularly spending time in nature has benefits for the body and mind.
