Bib Clip: Making Feedings (A Little Less) Messy

Perhaps knowing that I would one day have a son, I bough gender-neutral "toddler" pullover bibs when my daughter outgrew her "baby" bibs about two years ago.  ( I opted for the Cookie Monster and Elmo combo, similar to these here.)


Fast forward to the present, I have baby boy intent on constantly pulling off his "baby" bibs (basically any velcro or snap-on bib).  So a few weeks ago, I decided to try putting him in his sister's old pullover ones.  The problem being, however, those were too long, and resulted in a gaping hole up front, allowing some of most of his food to fall through on to his shirt - thus, defeating the purpose of said bib! 

My solution?  I clipped the bib in the back, about an inch away from his neck -- and voila!  No more messes!

Keep on saving!  :o)

Summer Activities for Young Preschoolers

As a preschool teacher, I’m frequently asked about ways to help facilitate learning and growth at home, particularly what activities for young preschoolers can parents work on at home.  During spring conferences with my two-year-old class’s parents, this question is second only to questions regarding potty training .   Trust me, I get how long these summer days can be, and being able to fill your child’s days with meaningful, age-appropriate activities can make or break your summer.  (or winter break.  Or spring break.  Or ….Tuesday!)  So what are some activities for your young preschooler, or any time of the year, to do at home?
