Hoola hoops/personal space=fantastic!!!

I love it! Something pretty similar to what Montessori mats do.

I can't tell you how nice it was to set each up with an activity (of their choosing) and not have the babies annoying the older ones by being in the middle of it, chewing & drooling on all the pieces, carrying the pieces everywhere in the playroom. When each was done it they put everything back in their activity bucket and tadaa! And the little ones got Hoola hoop time too as a reward for being so good at getting the concept so quickly!
