Toolbox Training is committed to delivering high-quality products, workshops, consultation, and other resources to school-age and early childhood programs in urban, suburban, and rural environments. The blog is dedicated to posts about activities for children which are related to holidays (some familiar, some unusual) of the day.
Unlike most resources on child development, this book covers milestones for early childhood and school-age. Learn the major milestones for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-agers in eight major areas: cognitive, communication, physical (general), physical (gross motor), physical (fine motor), social, emotional, and self-sufficiency. 102 pages. Catalog number: CDBK0703; Price: $14.95
This book, which started as a one-day seminar, focuses on preparation, openings, identifying and meeting participant needs, and closings. Among the books contents are tips on creating P.O.W.E.R. handouts, a suggested supply kit of materials, ideas for icebreakers and review activities, tips for using audiovisual material effectively, and more than a dozen forms that you can copy for your own meetings and training sessions. 90 pages. Catalog number: TTBK0703; Price: $20.00
Decide if your schedule’s transitions need to be energized (PUMPED), combined with another activity (LUMP), or scrapped altogether (DUMPED). Fill time where kids are waiting (READY), sitting for awhile (SET), or on the move (GO) by choosing from over 100 activities in categories like drama, language, games, or music and movement. 76 pages. Catalog number: TRBK0503; Price: $9.95
