This week we are featuring TONS of Invitations to Play that you can put into a paper bag.
We have used these for a Christmas countdown activity in the past to count down to Christmas each day of the December Holidays your children can open a bag and enjoy something fun to do together…but it works great as a quiet time activity too!

I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more
pleasant for me to come here and visit more often.
Did you hire out a designer to create your theme? Excellent work!
