Just like George, children are curious about the world and how things work. They're natural engineers, mathematicians, and scientists.
Here are some simple ideas for hands-on engineering, math, and science activities that you and your child can try at home. Use them to encourage your child's natural curiosity and to have fun making discoveries together.
To get the most out of these activities, take a quick peek at these helpful tips.
You can also download the Curious George Family Activity Booklet, which includes many of these ideas.
These K-1 activities will build your child's skills in math and science and introduce your child to basic but important engineering concepts such as building, using tools, and following a plan.
