		<description><![CDATA[Last week was our first official week of Tot School.  I have been doing crafts and learning activities with Hailey for a while but I decided that with the new school year I would start doing Tot School with her- which is basically just like pre-school except on a 2 year old level.  I am [...]]]></description>

Have your child rip the tissue paper into little pieces.  It&#8217;s great for developing those fine motor muscles and toddlers love to rip things apart. Cut your contact paper in half [...]]]></description>

So, I had a fabulous idea that we could do some &#8220;ball painting&#8221; to create a spiderweb look. It didn&#8217;t exactly work. Here&#8217;s what you&#8217;ll need- paper, ball, paint, [...]]]></description>

Here&#8217;s what you&#8217;ll need: Playdough and pipe cleaners.  We used pink because that is Haileys favorite color.  And also to keep our spider looking fun instead of scary.
