| What kinds of things do you do with your toddler to make simple learning fun and exciting? My toddler loves to do flannel board stories, pretend cook, look at bugs and animals on the computer, kick around a soccer ball, play golf, explore outside, catch bugs... it's so neat to see the world for the first time through their eyes :) |

| We made necklaces out of paper shapes. ( w/a few other things as well). My husband & I will draw animal faces & let our son color them, then we cut them out & glue on gogglie eyes & a popcicle stick. He love walking around making the sounds and waving the stick around like crazy. |
