Our little right-now page

Gather a few things

Paper and a pen for the grown-up; optional chunky crayons for ages 2+.

Let’s play

1. Write today’s date and your toddler’s age in months or years.
2. Add a favorite book, a favorite song, and something that made them smile.
3. Write one exact word, sound, or gesture you want to remember.
4. Invite a scribble or let your toddler choose where to keep the page.

A little learning to notice

Let your child choose between two favorites by pointing, looking, or speaking.

Keep a little memory

Try the page again in a month. There is no need to fill every space or compare progress.

Make it work for your child

Your observations are enough if your toddler does not want to answer. Make only one note if time is short.
