July 12, 2013 by Kate 1 Comment

    Babies (and toddlers) learn so much through their sense of touch. I had a few latex gloves that had gone unused for quite awhile that I decided to use them for this sensory experience for Possum.     I don’t own any birds but had a box of seed that was calling out […]
