As Mother's Day approaches, everyone's grateful! Let your third grader assemble this special book with words from the whole family.

Use marbles and paint to explore the wild world of shapes and color...and build writing strength, too.

Does your young writer need more details to beef up her writing? Why not make it fun by mixing in some creative artwork, and take her writing to the next level.

Help your child use recycled materials, a little imagination and some writing skills to build his very own recycled creature.
