This is great. My children are past this, but their children are just about ready for these activities. I am commenting as I work through your website. Your arts and crafts section is great, and there are so many activities. I am very impressed that you have made it fun for the kids and still relevant for the parents.
My Daughter, Alison, has a little boy called Zach who will love this in another year or so. But I am also interested to hear her opinion on your website as she is a teacher at a primary school.
You have humanized this and I am very impressed with your skill as an educator. This is definitely a save and I will be sending it to my daughter.
You will be hearing from me again, thank you.

Thanks Steve,
I have now retired from teaching/consulting so am aiming this at parents/carers rather than teachers as I am aware that I am no longer keeping up with what is going on in schools in the way you do as a teacher.
I am doing this as a hobby and hope that it might be of interest to parents all over the world.
Thank you for your encouragement
All the best,
Julia
