Other SFSP Resources

There are many ways to engage children and families in meaningful and fun activities. These activities can support a broader celebration of children or represent something new and different to do with a child every day.

Each of these documents contains activities that can be done in the classroom and/or the home. We encourage you to use these ideas to celebrate these children's events and make every day a special day.
