with babies that age could you do something where kicking their feet (or

waving their hands i suppose but babies that age have stronger legs) causes

the reaction? that would incorporate not only cause and effect but the

individual infants effect on the world around them... maybe set up a

kickboard to where different places they kick cause different... paints to

spill onto paper? or differnt markers or chalks or even crayons to mark on

the paper? it's just a thought... when i had twelve month olds we painted w/

cotton balls but that's probably way too simple for this kind of project...

but a kickboard might work... or it might be totally opposite from what you

have in mind -- but it's a thought ;-)

Chantelle,

I am so there with you. If I had the time I would try and help you - I

promise! This intersession is my most difficult term in all my years of

university. I blame statistics.
