Last year my daughter's preschool class asked parents to visit and talk to the 3 year olds about their jobs. I am a certified lactation consultant for our community and wanted to chat about breastfeeding and add an activity that was age appropriate and fun. We started off reading the wonderful and simple book 'We Like to Nurse', and a book about how baby's are carried in different cultures. We finished off with each child decorating their own toy sling. We called them 'super-cool-sling-things' and used the slings to carry items that were important to each child....Some children carried their toy animals, their lunches, water bottles, their toy cars....it was great! Today I still meet children from the class at the local farmer's market, or park with their decorated slings carrying what is important to them that day. Super easy...here is how we did it...
