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. "

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. |
