Preschoolers are an active bunch, which can sometimes make keeping them entertained and engaged a challenge for parents. That’s why Providence Children’s Academy has come up with some fun, age-appropriate fall activities to try.
Halloween-Themed Activities
With fall comes Halloween! There are lots of do-it-yourself things to do together at home. Carving a pumpkin may be too difficult for your young child, even under supervision. But there is an alternative so your child can still get in on the pumpkin-decorating fun: pumpkin painting.
Pumpkin painting will allow your child to be creative and make a bit of a mess: two things that kids love! And if they want the icky-yet-amusing experience of emptying the pumpkin “guts,” you can always cut into the top of the pumpkin for them and let them enjoy digging out the pulp before the painting part.
Coconut Creek Parks and Recreation Activities For Preschoolers
The Coconut Creek Parks and Recreation Department offers several activities for preschool-aged children. All activities require pre-registration and a one-time fee of $45 per child for Coconut Creek residents and $55 for non-residents. The exception is the Jumpstart Read for the Record event: pre-registration is required, but it is free to attend.
Jumpstart Read For The Record
This free event is for children between the ages of 2 and 4. It includes story time (“Nigel and the Moon” by Antwan Eady) and a fun craft project after. It will take place on Thursday, October 27th at 3 pm at the Recreation Complex, 4455 Sol Press Boulevard.
Crafty Einsteins
The Crafty Einsteins program is for children between the ages of 2 to 7 years old. It combines creativity and learning through hands-on art and science craft projects. Parents must also participate in the activities for kids between 2 and 4 years old.
