The world can be a scary place. While we can’t shield our kids from everything, we can give them tools to protect themselves. One not to miss: Ruby’s Studio: The Safety Show, a new video from The Mother Company. It teaches concepts like “You’re the boss of your body” and “Listen to your ‘uh-oh’ feeling.” Our favorite part: a craft tutorial for an armband that hides a phone number, ideal for outings with large crowds. Read the instructions here and watch a video of how to make this craft!
What You Need:
