Llama Llama Red Pajama Playdough Sensory Fun

The characters in the book help children realize that these feelings at bedtime are common and that it’s ok to have them and to share about them with their parents.I’m sharing with you a few fun ways to engage with the story with your child for your own little book club at home or with friends.
