My daughter has been doing origami at activitytv on On Demand. It's awesome. She is so into it. We got her origami paper and books from the library.

My daughter like jigsaw puzzles. It's a fun activity that we do together

My middle son has been working so hard on building paper cars from the movie “Cars”. You print out these cutouts then cut them out with scissors and then use tape following the instructions and he has the whole collection now. They look really good! Heres the website

Another wonderful thing that we’d like to do again is raise butterflies from worms. You buy this butterfly habitat kit and then mail away for the caterpillars. It comes with caterpillar food too so you get to watch them eat, grow and turn into butterflies. VERY cool. Heres one of the sites that sells it
