Being Savvy Today
Always Good for a Laugh
The great thing about being the parent of little kids is having an excuse to get goofy. Kooky games, slapstick performances and talking in squeaky voices or low drawls are all surefire routes to sending our kids into fits of giggles. Reading aloud to our children is

View an example from the Savvy Source guide to learn more.
Today's “Preschool’s Out” Activity
Trace your child's feet in his or her tennis shoes onto tagboard or cardboard and cut out the outline of the shoes. Then, mark eight spots on the shoes and punch out holes in these spots using a hole punch. Lace the cardboard cut-outs as you would your child's tennis shoes, and use them to help your child practice tying shoes.
