These taste good AND are educational. This is really a good craft for preschoolers to help teach the alphabet, but who doesn't appreciate a good chocolate chip cookie.  Find your favorite cookie recipe (or buy a roll of dough at the store) and, with your children, form your cookies into the shapes of the letters of the alphabet.  Bake and enjoy!

Paint a paper plate red, and add a stem and a leaf using construction paper. Then, cut a piece of another paper plate from the curved edge and color the piece green. Add a googly eye to your green piece, and you have a worm! Glue the worm to your paper plate apple as your final touch.

Glue Popsicle sticks together to make a bus shape. Paint them yellow, and add black construction-paper wheels.  Finally, add your little ones' pictures into the windows of your bus shape to show them "riding to school". 

A little creativity goes a long way, and adding pencil pals to a pencil adds a touch of fun to the old #2s. All you have to do is wrap a pipe cleaner tightly around the eraser end of the pencil and add googly eyes at the top. You can also add a feather on the top to give your pencil pal an extra touch.

This is an easy craft. All you have to do is get a few Popsicles, paint them yellow except for about an inch on each end. One end, paint pink as the eraser. On the other end, use a Sharpie to draw in the lead end of the pencil.
