Blanket time






A friend of mine posted on her blog about giving her kids blanket time. My first thought was,"This would NEVER work for MY kids!" Well, I figured I'd give it a try. They loved it and have been asking for more blanket time. It was great!! They all sat on their blankets and read for 30 minutes. James did have a few discipline's but he is learning very quickly that it is wise to stay on the blanket!! I even got to read quietly with them. Thanks Praise for the great idea!!

You go girl! I am so happy to see that this idea is serving you. It's amazing how our children love to have a clear boundary. Happy reading...
