I am the nursery leader in my ward, looking for ways to help our adjusting little ones leave Mommy & Daddy and you have some great ideas. Thanks again!Anupa Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00946594395437842210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855559839831119870.post-75583127952445454172008-02-04T11:30:00.000-08:002008-02-04T11:30:00.000-08:00Just a helpful hint: When my sister-in-law got ma...Just a helpful hint: When my sister-in-law got married, they had these bubble machines at her reception. My husband bought one for our kids and we bring it to nursery sometimes. They save your hands and your lungs! Check out the site below and type "bubble machine" into the search box. I think the link for it is #4. It's only $14.99 and you can use any type of bubble solution! <BR/><BR/>http://www.wilton.comAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01677953607599406624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855559839831119870.post-49236315956736789062008-01-18T12:51:00.000-08:002008-01-18T12:51:00.000-08:00I was a nursery leader in California, where we had...I was a nursery leader in California, where we had a courtyard just outside the nursery. When kids first came in I'd hand out paintbrushes and they'd all go "paint" the walls outside using a bucket of water. (something my mom used to do with us as kids.) The kids loved it and we had very few criers after we started doing that.<BR/><BR/>Might not be so helpful if you have an indoors-only nursery. But it sure worked great for ours!Elizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13943126446575413050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855559839831119870.post-2462215397239877342008-01-17T09:46:00.000-08:002008-01-17T09:46:00.000-08:00A couple of ideas from the last ward I was in - Th...A couple of ideas from the last ward I was in - <BR/><BR/>This is from the stake nursery leader/trainer. <BR/><BR/>She suggested a special nursery apron. It had big pockets and would have special things in the pockets. <BR/><BR/>One pocket would have a treat of some sort (a piece of candy I think) and her theory was that the kids would eventually be trained to come to the person wearing the apron.<BR/><BR/>The other pocket had a clippy tag with the child's picture and name on it. So they would get the candy and then receive the tag with their picture and name.<BR/><BR/>All of the toys were on tables for the kids to sit at and play.<BR/><BR/>After the kid got their tag with pic and name, they would choose a chair and attach the tag to the chair. This was then their chair for the day.<BR/><BR/>I've never had a reason (so far) to use this idea. For the most part my kids have done pretty well with just being dropped off. If anyone does use it, let me know how it goes.Me againhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07411231720607070849noreply@blogger.com
