Make a blossom twig 🌸
Find your stick on the nature bed and dress it with scrunched up pink or white tissue paper to make your own blossom branch. 🌿✨

Give it a go!

Did you know there are free programs at U.S. National Parks just for kids? 🌲

One gives every 4th grader (and their families!) a free national park pass. Another lets kids earn an official (junior) park ranger badge.

Both are fun, memorable, and completely free — but many families don’t know about them!

Read the post to learn how they work and how to use them on your next park trip.

Using chairs, tables, pillows and anything else you have, create an indoor obstacle course! Use spatial words such as "over," "under," "through" and "around" to explain the route. You will help your child learn how to navigate through space while increasing their spatial vocabulary.

This collection of toddler songs are favorites with teachers, parents, and anyone with young children. Not only are they fun, but they also teach a variety of concepts!

Giving your child simple choices can help them feel better, especially in challenging situations. For example, “Let’s wait our turn by playing with these blocks instead,” or “Would you like to sing a song while we wait?”
