"I want to go home!" moments
They include activities such as:
- Games

- Cooking & "Gooking" activities
While raising two exuberant boys, teaching preschool, leading Cub Scouts, and running a business, Carol Kranowitz developed savvy, creative ways to keep kids content in tight spaces. Her activities combine old standbys with new ideas born of desperation and cramped quarters. These wonderful activities help kids develop their skills and abilites while entertaining themselves and interacting with others.
Carol Kranowitz is the author of the best selling The Out-of-Sync Child.
