Puzzle box game for toddlers

While in the process of getting my preschool ready for our first day, my little tag-along decided to try out all of our puzzles…

Sitting on the table along with the puzzles was a wooden Kleenex box that we plan to used in our classroom.  I dropped a puzzle piece in the box first and the puzzle box game began…

My grandson stood at the table and dropped every single puzzle piece he could in the box.  I think he stood there for about 15 minutes just adding adding blocks. Then he would lift the box and start again…

If a piece didn’t fit quite right, he would continue to push it around until he either got it to drop in the box or it fell off the edge…

Most of the pieces fit easily into the opening of the box. I really enjoyed watching as my grandson worked those puzzle pieces into that box…

My grandson hasn’t quite figured out how to get the puzzle pieces back onto the puzzle boards but he’s got the puzzle in a box game down!

Every time I think I know everything I need to know about teaching young children, God says, "Hold on a minute!" and gives me a new challenge.

Let me tell ya...

With each new challenge that you overcome, you will find yourself better equipped and more passionate about teaching young children.

God didn't call wimps to lead, teach, or care for His children. Nope, he has high expectations, so get ready. You will have to give your very best but after teaching for over 30 years, I can tell you that it is a wonderful and rewarding journey.

Whenever your calling feels hard, just remember, 'He who began a good work in you (and in the children you serve) will be faithful to complete it.'

Sit up a little higher with a Kaboost Portable Chair Booster!

My grand daughter is at the age where she just does not want to sit in her high chair any more. This can be a little bit of a challenge since she isn’t quite tall enough to sit on her bottom in a chair and reach the table. So when you need a little lift, a Kaboost portable chair booster might just be the perfect solution.
