[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Former teacher. I used to visit a needy student’s house. I was shocked at how few toys she had. The academic profile of the student suggested that she hadn’t had a lot of stimulation young. Absolutely get a coat, but don’t skip a toy. This kid had only whatever other families gave away for free. So she had big, bulky things like a shopping cart, but nothing educational, like blocks. Think of your top ten must-have toys, and assume the kid has maybe two or three of them. [/quote] Also, a board book that encourages counting. Public libraries in Fairfax aren’t circulating board books right now, so a lot of families likely aren’t reading to their kids AT ALL. I like this one by DK, but there are lots to choose from. You might find one in English and Spanish if you don’t know the kid’s ethnicity. https://www.amazon.com/DK-Braille-Counting/dp/1465436138[/quote]
