We hope these printables provide some sort of help, but we also don’t pretend that we are the “experts” who can tell you the perfect way to play or parent. We will continue to provide activities that we think may help, but we would love to hear from you about what is working for you and your family during these difficult days. Share what you’re finding to be fun and effective ways to play by posting and using #PowerOfPlay!
