Kai-lan's Father's Day Pop-Up Card

This pop-up card looks like it's from a fancy stationary shop. But kids simply cut out the pieces and fold them to create the design.

Watch Ni Hao, Kai-lan every day on Nick & Nick Jr.

The best gifts are handmade. Make this craft together and give it as a gift to a parent, grandparent, or your child's classmates.

This craft requires extra parent involvement and a watchful eye, because it may require sharp tools or intricate handiwork.

This craft has plenty of steps kids can do, like tracing, coloring, decorating, and cutting with safety scissors.

Creativity enhances self-expression and problem-solving. Decorative crafts allow preschoolers to create through imagination and experimentation.

Awareness and understanding of one's own feelings and the ability to empathize and cooperate with others are crucial for independence and positive self-image.

Preschoolers work on visual-spatial skills by playing memory games, completing jigsaw puzzles, creating original artwork, and navigating mazes.

Language includes listening, comprehension, speech, reading, and writing. It lays the foundation for future learning, relationships, conflict resolution, and self-confidence.

Ages: 4-6
