Read a book together that is appropriate for your child's age and reading level. As you are reading the book, talk about the various scenes in the book. When you are finished with the book, ask your child to explain his favorite scene. Using an old shoebox, create a diorama of that scene. Your child can use clay, toys, paints, crayons, yarn, rocks or anything else that he can find to present the scene as it is in his imagination. Help your child include details, talk about why the scene is importan, and make sure that your child is proud of the finished project. You can display it at your home, or take it to school to share with your child's teacher.
Many children love science because of the experiments, but they are often limited to one or two of them per year in school. Create a science experiment at home with your child. Look through some online sources to find a science experiment or ask your child to come up with an idea of a question that she wants to answer. You can do a science project, such as creating match-stick rockets that fly through the air when lit, or an experiment such as figuring out which paper towel holds water the best. Doing these projects and experiments at home affords your child an opportunity to explore the fun aspects of science without having to worry about grades and writing papers.
For children who love to tell stories, create a play. Younger children should dictate the story to you while children could write it themselves. Gather the equipment that you'll need to put on the play, including costumes, props and neighbor kids or siblings who will take part. Get creative. Practice telling the story using props and costumes, and talk about the ways that stories change and shift as you present them. Present your play to friends, family and neighbors.
