Make your kitchen a little art classroom. Tots don’t have a lot of material demands in the art department, but variety is key to their creative endeavors.

Cover the table in a protective cloth and bring out the play dough, paints (washable!), crayons, colored paper and paste and let the good times roll.

The list is limited only by your imagination. And keep in
mind that it’s the process of creating that’s important
not coloring within the lines.

time together …

a little education along with some artsy endeavors and of course
some lively socializing.
