What is your quick, go-to mental thought when you need a quick pick-me-up? Recently this has been playing in my head; “Soft kitty, Warm kitty, Little ball of fur; Happy kitty, Sleepy kitty, Purr purr purr.” Ah, Sheldon, how I adore you. If you’re a “Big Bang Theory” fan, you may share the same sentiments. If this makes no sense, perhaps this may help –  http://bigbangtheory.wikia.com/wiki/Soft_Kitty  .

Scrolling through the many wonderful ideas linked up in last weeks’ Kids Co-op made me smile too. It’s not just the creative ideas and stories that impressed me, it’s the generosity of so many people willing to share their stories of how they work, rest and play with their children.

WORK
There are some old-school ideas that have stood the test of time.
Like a Pretty Petunia reminds us of Alphabet Beads.

REST
NurtureStore shares a lovely craft for Mothers’ Day, complete with an anti-paint smudging device.

PLAY
Make Do & Friend sets up a super cool Superhero City Small World.
