Two-year-olds like arranging things into patterns. If you can find some colored blocks or something like a Chinese Checkers set, that can occupy them for quite a while. “What if we line up all the reds? Now can we put the reds alternating with the blues? How about the triangles and the cubes?”

A ream of paper and some crayons is good, too. Little kids love to color sheet after sheet of paper. I usually give each of the little boys a ream of paper for Christmas and birthdays. Watercolor paints, 99 cents for the cheap ones at Hobby Lobby. I can send you a gross, if you’d like.

OH.

I have coloring books and crayons (because I like to color in the books!) and will bring them out the next time she is here!!!

Thanks for the idea! (I feel so embarrassed...)

I suspect, knowing her mum, that watercolor paints will be welcome HERE, but not “there.” (LOL!)

G-Mas are so lenient...I hear...
