Choosing the Best Toys

Learning at home should ALWAYS be fun – at least when children are young.  Four year-olds are little sponges and so happy and proud to accomplish new things. (If only we could bottle that enthusiasm for exploring new topics without a fear of failure and pull it out in about 5 years!)

Filling stockings for Baby’s First Christmas can be as stressful as it is exciting. Finding items small enough for the stocking and big enough to be baby-safe is always a challenge.

Play is the work of childhood. Toys are the tools of this work.  The quality of a toy directly relates to your child’s opportunity to explore and grow. Great toys all become educational in one way or another!

During this year your child will focus on what is immediately in front of them. But, get ready! They will be on the run.

Playing with babies is a precious experience because time passes so quickly. Just when you get a reaction or skill mastered, they're onto something new!

All children play. In fact, many animals play too. We know it when we see it, but what is it exactly?
