My girls do a LOT of independent play. Well, not completely independent, they play with each other. I usually just hang out and become a prop when they need me. It always amazes me the things they come up with and I'd hate to get in that way by having planned crafts or something. We usually do open ended activities and art. We never do crafts that have a desired outcome (unless it is a gift). We also do a lot of singing and dancing and being silly. We turn everything into a song. We also like to rhyme everything and spell everything. When it comes to counting we count to 110. We do it several times a day. Even my 2 year old can nearly do it now since we do it so often. We also write the numbers and letters so they can recognize them. We read a lot and as far as education goes, I started teaching my oldest to read when she turned 3 and at 3.5 we started a kindergarten curriculum. We clean, fold clothes, do dishes, make beds... I'm sure there are a million other things. Andrea’s last blog post..So cute but useless...

These are such GREAT ideas!! Thank you so, so much for sharing them with us! I am going to get Nate some crayons now so that he can start getting the idea of it. (And the site is looking really great!) Courtney’s last blog post..Going to the restroom is now a two-man job

I don't have kids of my own but i do babysit and play with your daughter and other little kids. And i love to do Arts and crafts. with the little girls, like Sunday we made princess crowns. all it took was some construction paper, markers, and some tape/stapler! it was so quick and easy and the girls love them.
