A Morning Page with a Grandchild

Three short lessons for grandparents on five calm minutes with a small child: one page each morning, a two-minute game, and letting the child teach you.

For grown-ups, from what TableTots teaches children at Spark & Anvil.

The breakfast page

You'll need: a sheet of paper folded into a small booklet, crayons, and five minutes.

  1. Draw one simple game on today's page: three circles to colour, or five spoons to count.
  2. Play it for two minutes, then stop.
  3. Ask the child to teach it to you. Make one small mistake for them to fix.
  4. Close the booklet until tomorrow.
