Ideas for Screen-Free Afternoons

Screen-free does not have to mean entertaining your child yourself all afternoon. The right toy sets up the play and then steps back.

Set up an invitation to play

• A jigsaw or world-map puzzle
• An art and crayon kit
• A board game for two
• A bucket of building blocks
