Each station sharing something different for the kids to create, play, craft, and eat for about 10-15 minutes le idee di casamia at a time. You can always gather everyone together at the end to eat their snack and listen to a story.
1. Giant Heart Tic Tac Toe – Create a tic tac toe game board with a red poster and a few handmade heart bean bags . You could make a few of these so 4-6 kids could be playing all at the same time.
