(Karen's Daughter) "I am a parent of three wonderful children, one having special needs.

"The Littlest Engine That Can Set - there is always the premonition that the child cannot do as other children the same age. The Littlest Engine That Can is a perfect way to instill in youngsters the meaning of "I can if I try", even if just a little. I encourage my child with special needs to try. We've read this story many, many times and it is a favorite in our household. "
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can! What a great lesson to learn from a cute little engine.
"The School Time Toggle Felt Book- As a parent and teacher, I have seen that all children love to play school. For my special needs child, the term "school" does not have meaning. When playing a game like the School Time Felt File Folder Game, it helps present "school" in in a playful way in which the child understands. It promotes all the aspects of school and is a great way to pretend play with other children."
The School Time Felt File Folder Game is a great way to help children prepare for school and learning about the things that go on there.
