Parent Survival Kit #4

When you need some time to yourself: 
Pro-tip #1 Remember the audio story links we sent in Issue #1. 
Your children will love hearing the same few stories every day, or every other day for longer than you might imagine.  

When you need the best toys ever: 
Pro-tip #2 Give your children an old pot, pan, or bowl, and a spoon and let them play in the dirt with some water. Mud kitchen is likely to allow for great periods of creative, sustained play.

*Don’t have an outdoor space for this kind of play?
​Try filling the sink with a little bit of soapy water and pushing a sturdy chair or step stool up to the sink. Give them a few unbreakable dishes to play with in the sink.
