Thanks! I was also taught to say “Tell me about this” instead of “What is it?” as a day camp counselor.

And agree with Shannon that it’s our job to provide them with open-ended resources that can spark their imagination. I’ve a post on my blog with some ideas about other things you might include in your craft box, and how to store them http://nurturestore.co.uk/a-well-stocked-craft-box-whats-in-yours

Will be visiting Shannon’s site too – thanks for the link to her.

I love the idea of open ended art. I am a very craft person myself and I keep scraps available or ask my little ones if they want to try “felt” or “glitter” without saying what I expect them to do with it. My older child (5y) often has plenty of ideas and only needs me to help gather the supplies and assign a work place. My mom, an early childhood educator, taught me to ask, “Tell me about this” and NOT (What’s this?) and to comment on color, vibrancy, etc. if I had no idea “what” it might be. My older daughter once answered “What’s this?” with, “Duh, a painting”.

My son LOVES your little “music videos” (lol) and sings a lot of those songs.

I know you are big into books and reading to your son…by any chance have you ever thought about reading books on video and posting them just like the songs?

Do you know of any websites/blogs/youtube,etc that reads to kids?

Although, my daughter always has crayons and paper available, I think that I can have so much more available for her.

Thanks for this post!
