Glad to hear you’re enjoying yourself as well as the parents and babies! In my classes, putting things in their mouths is what babies do best. Luckily I usually have only one baby in every class so it’s not too hard to keep a watchful eye and I ask the parent to bring things from home that the baby can chew on. Two out of three of my babies roam around so I make sure I have some extra plastic animals or the shaker eggs have been good to distract them from getting into the art supplies. Also I find that having older kids in the class helps entertain the baby. I sometimes put up a baby gate so the baby doesn’t disappear down the corridor and the mom (or dad) can relax as s/he can see her (his) baby at all times! I was thinking it would be great to have a place where we could all list the books we use in the different languages and for different age groups. Chuck do you have a place for that kind of thing? How about for us to post ideas for new art projects or modifications of existing art projects made to fit a specific age group or special need kids? I have kids that have allergies and so I often have to change the food art project to something else because of that. Thanks Birgit for your feedback and I hope my ideas help you too! Veronica
