One child's pet is another child's dinner.

Field trip to see Incan ruins. The kids loved the day outdoors but thought what they saw was just a pile of rocks. Hopefully, the experience will be one that they will eventually appreciate having had.

Handmade finger puppets are everywhere. I'm bringing some back. Found these in a shop in the center of Lima. The little girl selling them was too cute to resist.

Heading for Peru in August to visit preschools and work with the faculty at the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru (PCUP). Check back here to see how the trip is going. Know Spanish?? Then check out some of these early childhood links at PUCP. I don't speak Spanish but I love this image that I found on one of the PCUP sites.

UNICEF Children's Bill of Rights

Read the Bill of Rights for all the world's children. Are there any rights you think were left out? Are there any that surprised you?

Which of these rights can you help to make a reality for the children in your care or the children around the world?

June 29th is International Mud Day. How will you celebrate?
Check out these mud pie kitchens for inspiration.
