Parent tip of the month: 

Use apps as a catalyst for interaction, not a replacement of it.

Choose apps that help you build a relationship with your child and inspire

conversation and joint engagement.



For tonight's craft, we made magnetic car tracks.


 I used thin cardboard sheets (donated from a patron's dry cleaning stash) instead of paper plates to give a larger driving surface. In hindsight, I realized that we could have attached paperclips to the back of the cars instead of magnets, so if you want to save a little money, try that out. 
 I love the tracks the kids designed!  This one is a lovely park and garden:
 And this one is underwater -- watch out for the shark!

Happy travels to you!
