Cussing Caterpillar Teaches Kids the Alphabet

Toy Box: Eric Carle Flash Cards
Already a fan of Eric Carle's beautiful and creative illustrations in children's books such as Brown Bear, Brown Bear and The Hungry Caterpillar, I'm excited to see his art now appearing on alphabet flash cards ($15).
Each card has a letter of the alphabet on a colorful backdrop on one side and a splendidly illustrated animal to represent the letter on the other. And, the flash cards are made out of a heavy card stock, which makes for good tossing around the room without too much damage.

Getting Parents Involved in the Halloween Act
Most parents think about their child's costume and forget all about themselves when it comes to dressing up for the spooky holiday. Sibling pairs can be quite cute but if there's only one kiddo in the family, mom and pop should think about getting in on the act with their own tiny tot.
