highlighter's tape, they make such a thing?

I make notes in my guides as I go so I remember things for the next kiddo and I mark off each box for each kid with a check for the oldest, a star for the second and a heart for the third.

You could just get the next Thinking Skills book in the series online somewhere. I continued to buy those books for my kids each year.

Many people stretch out the first few guides in different ways. One of the more popular methods has been to do the first few guides 4 days a week just as the upper guides are done. this allows more time for field trips, errands or dr. appts. and uses up that extra year.

This was the summer after we had done Bigger. My kids learned a lot from the books even though we can't do the hands o...

I loved Baby Island as a kid and enjoyed rereading with my kiddos in Bigger!
