Teaching Your Child How to Draw a Person
My favorite fine motor activity of the ABCJesusLovesMe Preschool Curriculum is "Drawing My Family." The activity occurs four times in the 3, 4, and 5 Year Curricula.

Helping Boys Learn with Cars
There is something about boys and cars. I don't understand the fascination. And, I definitely can't explain why the hoods are left up on cars during a car show. When I look in, I just see an engine. But for whatever reason, boys love cars and everything about cars. Give a little boy a Hot Wheels car and you will see ...
