That does sound like a good book! I'm going to add that to the list. There are soooo many things I want for my daycare, but not enough money to do it all at once. I have a teacher friend who's doing her 4 over 5 next year. She and her hubby are traveling the world. I've asked if she can keep an eye out for really good toys from different regions that she could ship back to me. Not tonnes of them, but some. Then these kids can see what children in other places do for fun. I have a large wicker basket full of all the instruments (our Sharing Basket)...could totally do the same thing with little toys.
Fun&Care, there are soooo many ways to bring diversity into your daycare, even if you're a houseful of Caucasians. Planting little things all over your space and including other races in some of your themes....their traditions, etc. I would like (but haven't sorted it yet) to do 1 country/month. Not a full time focus, rather, they see where it is on a map, maybe we look some stuff up online about their clothing, lives, etc, have some of the food and maybe, if I can really get my s^%t together, throw some articles of clothing in the dress up bin. It might be nice to learn a little song or dance from some of the places. Soooo many ways![]()
