Oldest Thing In Your House
It’s difficult to stay connected to other people at the moment. Our latest activity is designed for children to be able to share the book they make with family members they can’t meet right now. You can also have fun together finding the oldest thing in your house and talking about it. Psst … Grandpa doesn’t count as the oldest thing!
