    Oh bummer ~ we did this with our local childcare network group a few years back and it was awesome cause like 13 people participated and we got 12 new ideas for our quiet time bins! We did it again 2 years ago and had about 6 people out.
    • Another thing we made was 'eye spy bottles' with colored rice and little bitty things hid in the bottle around the rice and you shake it to find them things.
    • Coloring mixing bottles (water bottles with colored oil and colored water so when you shake them together they mix to make a 3rd color and then separate back)
    • Paper clip bin with gimp for lacing and creating paper clip chains.
    Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."
