*Stallone Tested and Approved: Connect-the-dots la la la...is what I kept sinigng as my son traced the letters...thanks Pee Wee! This was a first for Stallone, so Mommy helped him by holding his hand the majority of the time. the question was is he a righty or a lefty. He uses his left hand a lot, so we switched between the two. Another "fabo" idea, is to have them trace the letters using their index finger. Talking about these "patriotic words" sunk in a lot better, for "patriotic" has been our monthly theme..Ding! Ding! Ding! Fun and EASY activity to do with your children, try it out!!
