FRIDAY Shaving like Daddy--Provide children with a lump of shaving cream on the table in front of them and a tongue depressor. Show them how to put some shaving cream on their cheeks and scrape it off with the tongue depressor, just like Daddy! Practice Ready, Set, Go! I teach my toddlers to run whenever I say, "Ready, set, GO!" They love it and it comes in handy when I need them to move fast from one place to another.
