stood amid,
dusted along,
vacuumed up,
wiped down,
found beneath,
placed above,
looked into,
scoured through,
emptied out,
loaded in,
swept under,
glossed over,
collected from,
brought to,
thought beyond,
worked until,
tuckered out.
What’s for dinner besides?

Important note: this activity can make two things confusing for your child.

I noticed a sweet little friend had managed to paint her clothing at school the other day, and remember this handy project.
