Fun on the Go

I found this idea (on Pinterest, of course) and put something similar together for miss Chloe. She LOVES playing with the magnet letters. It's great fine motor play, great special education, an easy way for other kids to want to come and play with Chloe (which she loves, of course), and I LOVE how easy and mobile it is! Sometimes simple ideas are the most genius. :)
