Examine, Investigate and Explore
Tykes love to explore their surroundings. Explore volume by pouring with kids. Explored the changes in consitency as they added water to floam from soap flakes eventually playing with bubbles. Explore the outdoors on a scavenger hunt with some nifty cards from Saltwater Kids. What boy doesn’t like to get dirty? Allie of No Time for Flashcards watched her son explore in dirt. Anna of the Imagination Tree enjoyed exploring with shaving cream with her girls.

Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a thirty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.
My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to
share it with someone!
Excellent website you have here but I was wanting to know if you knew of any forums that cover the same topics discussed here?
I’d really love to be a part of online community where I can get opinions from other experienced individuals that share the
