I love sharing developmental educationally rich ideas that have worked for us. So here you go...
Trevy's Trays were born out of two passions. 1) I love Trevy and am fully committed to helping him thrive to his fullest potential and believe that this includes ME working with him at home and 2) I have learned and been inspired SO much by other moms sharing what they do that I couldn't resist the chance to do the same. So what are Trevy's Trays anyway? They are simple Montessori inspired activities that I have developed to help me spend time every day working one to one (or two to one when his big sister helps!) with Trevy. Each tray focuses on a different skills.
