Assessments for Infants, Toddlers, and Preschoolers
I originally started my TPT store back in 2014 so that I could share the early childhood assessments I put together to use in my own program. Over the years those have become part of a full curriculum and other tools and supports have been added too. I’ve been working on updating all of my assessment materials, and they’re finally ready! The structure of each piece has stayed the same, but they have a more current look. They also fit more seamlessly with all of the other Preschool Ponderings materials. I’m definitely the person who NEEDS everything to match, so this has been a long time coming! If you’ve already…

I love to see what they come up with and how their brains view the items and supplies that are available. My favorite supplies for flower making are: I also make sure to have all of the basic crafting necessities on hand – scissors, white glue and glue sticks, tape, pencils, crayons, markers,…

Disney Cruise Must Haves
Over the years I’ve really dialed in a tried and true packing list for a Disney Cruise. Here are the items that I absolutely wouldn’t forget to pack! All links are affiliates. Reusable Water Bottle – The cups available for drinks on the boat are not made for transporting liquids throughout the ship, having your own reusable cup of some kind is a game-changer. Bonus points if it’s leakproof and you can toss it in a tote bag. ID Card Holder – Your room key opens your room door, but it is also what you use to pay for anything on the ship and to link your photos to your…
