SPECIFICALLY, HERE IS WHAT WE ARE “PLAYING WITH”…
  • For the Tiny Techies – Elizabeth will discuss and demo cutting edge tools designed to help little tech buffs learn and improve their reading skills 
  • Elementary Coursework – From reading and writing to science and math, Elizabeth will hone in on toys that touch on multiple school subjects   
  • Stock up on Supplies – Elizabeth will reveal the most fun coloring tools, school labels and other handy items to get back in the groove
