Color<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/p>\n
Coloring is fun for kids (and adults) of all ages, but it\u2019s also a great activity to help your young kids develop motor skills. Coloring is a major component of Kumon\u2019s Level Z, also known as the Pencil Skills Level.<\/a> That\u2019s because coloring can help your kids build strength and dexterity in their hands, which will lead to better handwriting in the future. For fun printable, educational coloring activities, check out the Ready Jet Go! website<\/a>. Kumon is a proud sponsor of Ready Jet Go!, an animated series on PBS Kids that teaches kids about science and astronomy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/h4>\nStage a Performance<\/strong><\/h4>\nStoke your kids\u2019 creativity by encouraging them to put on a performance. Acting out a scene can help your children develop public speaking skills at an early age and encourage their imagination to go wild. For performance newbies, why not ask them to act out a scene from their favorite book? For more experienced thespians, encourage them to write their own play to present. Either way, your kids will develop reading, writing, and presenting skills, all while having so much fun they won\u2019t even realize they\u2019re learning!<\/p>\n
<\/div>\nBeing stuck indoors over the summer doesn\u2019t have to be boring. There are endless opportunities for fun and learning right in front of you. Children\u2019s active imaginations can make seemingly mundane activities tons of fun. Take advantage of their ability to turn an ordinary stick into a magic wand or a box into a cave and let them take you for an adventure in your living room!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
How to Have Fun On A Rainy Day
\nWhen thinking of summer fun, we typically imagine outdoor activities like swimming in the pool or playing at the park. While physical activity is very important and can even boost your kids\u2019 learning ability, sometimes it\u2019s just too hot out to play in the sun.
