my 25 month old has been a fan of I Spy books for a few months. When we first started, we just talked about all things on the page or I'd ask her if she can find a *blank* on the page. Now she actually does a pretty good job of finding the object shown on the preceding page.

ooo, love the idea of using a cookie sheet instead of the fridge for magnet play!

wish i'd known about this when we moved here 2.5 years ago, but with only a few months left here, it's not worth the effort for me. cute though!

i've had a lot of luck with the used section of amazon.com. pick a book and often the book is sold for a penny with 3.99 shipping.

oh heaven's yes! the kid is two. plus she has a birthday just one week after christmas. there is no way i'm letting her load up on all those gifts at once. i put them in a closet and strategically dole them out throughout the year. this is especially true for toys that aren't quite yet age appropriate.

loved this! thank you for pulling together all the different tutorials out there. if i were a better sewer who didn't need to reacquaint myself with my machine every time i use it, this would have gone MUCH faster. regardless, my daughter has a crown for her birthday and i'm happy.
