Gearhead Mom

I am a toy gearhead. I am a mom. Therefore, I am Gearhead Mom. I review the good, the bad and the (often) ugly in the world of baby and childhood gear.

The Sparkle Fairy

Posted by Missy W. @ 2:20 PM

My daughter’s very old-school preschool has a Sparkle Fairy. She hides “gold” (spray-painted gold rocks) in the yard every few months. The kids find it and either re-hide it for their friends or put it in the big gold pot outside. It’s one of Sy’s fave activities. I am thinking of ripping that idea right off and hiding some gold of our very own in our backyard for Baby G to find on days when his sister has the nerve to go off to school without him.

What is your favorite part about your child’s school?

Right now my favorite part of our daughter’s preschool is that they are having Parents’ Night Out—providing childcare—on Valentine’s Day.  Woohoo!  I feel some romance in the air!  It’s been years since we’ve been out on February 14th.

Right before the first outside time, the director of the school and the Yard 1 person go out and hide “treasure”—mostly those pretty glass pebbles you use in aquariums and flower arrangements—in the gigantic sandbox. The kids dig for them. Take them home. Collect them. They call them dragon tears.
