    2) The super special snack table.  It's a folding plant stand.

  • This is when I use the tv. I turn on mickey mouse club and set out crayons and paper. She also likes to help. I sit her on the counter and give her a bowl and a spoon and she stirs stuff.
  • Thanks for the ideas! I really need to get a step stool so she can climb up and help like LBB.
