Are you inside with the kids today? Someone’s sick? Raining outside? Something else keeping you inside?
These resources provide you with ways you can talk, read, sing, and play your way through the day—just with things you might already have indoors. Pick and choose the ideas that work best for your child’s age and interests. And follow your child’s lead on other ways they want to play!
Too Small to Fail is working with partners to help provide educational resources, like this toolkit, and books to families across the country. We also are working to connect nonprofit partners with corporate and philanthropic partners to help leverage support for basic needs like food, diapers and more.
