This is a guest post by Sarah of A Teacher At Heart. Sarah currently (but not for much longer!) lives in China with her husband and young son. She blogs about the fun learning activities that she and her son get up to, and her blog is also co-authored by her mother and sister-in-law. All three are teachers and use their teaching backgrounds to share ways to help all parents to teach our own children.

I’m known for only using the most complicated recipes. Cough, cough. So here is another to add to my list:
Thanks so much to Sarah for sharing with us over here today! Be sure to check out her blog, A Teacher at Heart, for more great baby/toddler activities.
