Wonderful ideas! Excellent round up. We can’t decide which one to make for the grannies, yet. 🙂 Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Lili! Please let me know which one you try!
So excited to find your website! I’ve been teaching twos for several years now. I love the simple, practical and FUN ideas. I currently have 22 curious, active, precious children in my class with several helpers. At the end of each day I find myself tired but happy! Love my job. 🙂
Happy you are here, Vickie! That tired but happy feeling once they’ve all gone home is the best! Every day is sure different.
