At what age should my child color? Beginning at one year of age, if you give your child a crayon, they may begin to hold the crayon, place it on the paper and imitate you moving your hand back and forth to produce a scribble. Expect attention for this activity at this age, to last [...]
True to my baby registry Monday post (though it’s a bit early this week!), the hidden gem of the day is the Stokke Tripp Trapp Chair.
