And while different families have different dynamics (obviously), hopefully we can glean good ideas from each other. Please leave your ideas in the comments section or next week my 4 year old may just drive me bananas! :D

Here’s some links to ideas that others have used:

Preschool Activities–good ideas tucked into ziploc baggies

Okay…I’ve got more to share, but I’m out of time. Your turn to share some ideas.  Leave a comment; I’m sure we’ll all appreciate it. :)
