I am always looking for new items to tell you about. I look for games that are educational and fun – for books that will be read over and over – for activities that take little supplies and create lots of fun. Christmas is a great time to fine new suggestions. In the next few weeks, I will be sharing some of the new ideas that I have! I hope ...
Now That’s Thinking…
