Easing the Transitions




A friend showed us a magnetic board she uses to explain their bedtime routine to her daughter. Apparently, toddlers cooperate better if they know what is coming next. This kind of thing (which technically is called an "augmentive and assistive communication device") also helps with language development, and we're all for that!
We couldn't find such a board online, but I made one from a small magnetic white board, clipart from Microsoft Clips Online, and some nifty paper called "magnetic sheets" from Avery Dennison.
If you look carefully, you will see that Mia is expected to brush but gets a pass on flossing for now.
