The outfit a child can come up with are pretty scary. You don’t want to stifle their creativity and allowing them to pick and chose their on clothing when the desire presents itself is an important learning process. Follow the simple matching below to ensure that your child comes up with an outfit that doesn’t make you look like you should be standing next to him wearing mom jeans.
Separate drawers based on items that match not item types. We took the time to do this project together, again teamwork is key. We put all of the earth tones in one drawer and the bright colors in another. These drawers include both tops and bottoms. Then we have a separate drawer for pants that will go with any shirt, such as blue jeans.
In the morning he is allowed to pick any items but they all must come from the same drawer, or they must be paired with the “everything pants” drawer.

Making Easy Play Clay
Cooked Claydough (baking soda and corn starch)
1 cup baking soda
1/2 cup corn starch
3/4 cup water
Have your child mix the baking soda and corn starch in a pot. Use hands to make sure all the lumps are broken up. Add water. The adult should put the pan on the stove over medium heat and stir constantly. As soon as the mixture gathers together, remove from the heat. When it cools, have your child knead it into a smooth playdough.
Note: Don't over cook this claydough or it will crumble when the children use it.
