Welcome to "Kids' Education & Entertainment,"
the second issue of Hudson Valley Parent's mini-se-
ries, HVP Home with the Kids.
Here, you'll find great ways to help your kids en-
joy activities that take them from online adventures
to outdoor activities, all of which are as educational
as they are a whole lot of fun.
See the piece on mom- and teacher-approved
apps for terrific educational apps that help your
grade-schoolers stay up to speed on their studies in
engaging and dynamic ways. Through games, vid-
eos, animations, and a full range of activities, these
apps put the focus on math, reading, social studies,
health, the arts, and more. Not only will your kids
learn fundamental and mind-expanding lessons, but
they'll be happily entertained, too.
Next, read about great ways to occupy your chil-
dren in a variety of kid-friendly activities, indoors
and out. From naming and numbering games, to
writing and storytelling challenges, these activities
- inspired by long-distance, car travel - offer in-
ventive games to keep the kids in your family happi-
ly busy while they sharpen their academic skills.
Do you have favorite, fun and educational tools
and activities for kids that you'd
like to share? Send them to us

tor@excitingread.com.

cumstances, more than ever, the
