Question
Hi Laura,
    I am hosting a playgroup for about 15 16-24 month old children and their mom's. We will be using a spacious and empty room. I wanted to do something that the kids and mom's could do together that is not to messy or expensive. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Answer
Hi Gina

Thanks for the question.

There are several different activities that you could do for your playgroup. Crafts, games, and songs are just dew ideas. Having a fun theme is also a great idea. Below I have listed several excellent sites to help you with your planning. If you have any other questions, please let me know.
