However, by far, the favorite items have been the scratch art cards and the washi tape. Some of the most beautiful pieces have been made using scratch art cards.

This skill is literally life changing but is also empowering for students when they can handle a potential emergency with confidence. \r\nBy far, the Ready or Not Tots have been the most impactful activity as the babies simulate real life in many ways. The care and attention they require mimics actual babies as these dolls cry regularly but unpredictably. Students appreciate carrying around the dolls as opposed to our flour/sugar bag babies of recent years.
