December is Safe Toy Month
December is a great month to inspect your toys. Many children get new toys in December and friends exchange toys. Be sure that you look each toy over for safety and also ensure that they are age appropriate. Check for loose or moving parts and anything that might be of danger for your kiddo. The following article "Toy Safety Tips" provides a link for recalled toys as well. Remember, safety first!
From our Librarian
Snowballs by Lois Ehlert
Read through the book, then go back through and play “I Spy” as you look for the objects.
Old Bear by Kevin Henkes
Pretend to be Old Bear as he enjoys each of the four seasons.
Over and Under the Snow by Kate Messner
Always fun to make a snowman with cotton balls.
Take cup stacking to the next level - use nerf balls, dryer balls or large cotton balls to try and knock them down.
Use toys to understand the concept of over and under.
Conscious Discipline Corner
What is Conscious Discipline?
Conscious Discipline offers solutions for social-emotional learning, discipline and self-regulation. The goal is to help parents and schools reach and teach every child. Once instilled, these essential skills will last a lifetime and positively impact generations to come.
