I worked in ECE for years and I think what you send out is just right! Love the literature component and as for crafts...you include inspiration and all of the components needed.

I love that it’s all about reading and hands-on doing rather than tapping and looking at a computer screen.

My daughter was so happy to get your mail (running up the driveway yelling, ‘There’s mail and it’s actually for me!’)

There is a feeling of smug satisfaction that I got most things done without me cracking (ie screaming like a crazed cornered animal). Mindful Parenting is mentally exhausting, don't get me wrong. At the end of the day I'm DONE with validating everyone else, but coach Shirley says it gets easier as green brain state becomes your everyday, and I'm looking forward to that reality!
Got a larger family? Order a family envelope. 1 letter, 1 set of think, do, create cards and up to 4xs the art and craft materials.
