Save time on your prep by grabbing this learning kit from @tigerkubz ! I am truly impressed with this Little Blue Truck’s Christmas Learning kit and how it covers a multitude of learning areas in one organized box. All the materials are provided, prepared in quality forms and prepped which allowed for me to be more present, be more in the learning moments and more time to spend time connecting with my family instead of lesson planning. If you are a Mama that loves the whole-child approach I recommend this learning kit!
