Celebrate your little one's move to big kid school by throwing a very special graduation party complete with friends, crafts, and lots of energetic fun.

You don't need to spend big bucks to buy a pre-boxed version of a matching game at the store. You can make your own easily. Here's how:

Introduce your child to the symbols of fall with this easy-to-make matching game that will hone observational skills and increase your kid's attention span.

Tell your child you want to work on kindergarten readiness skills and she's not likely to jump up and clap. But turn it into a game and it's a different story.

Your kid and his friends will have a blast taking turns playing the role of a traffic cop in this Labor Day version of the classic game Red Light, Green Light.

All you need is chalk and pavement to set up this silly, fun, and practical game that reinforces important vocabulary.
