We're having some fun activities besides the homework from public school (Our official homeschooling start is after Christmas):
Our son brought home some origami-like folded animals. I told him that we have a book with lots and lots of instructions to fold awesome things. He went for it! Now we're folding and folding and can't stop.
It's a perfect way for practicing shapes and fine motorskills for a kindergartner or 1st grader.
If you don't have a book on hand, here are some free origami online instructions:
