The printables are PDF files sold through Teachers Pay Teachers and Etsy; on Teachers Pay Teachers you will need a free account to download them. Clothing, bags, stickers, magnets and prints are made to order after you buy them, and they are for grown-ups. Keep stickers and magnets away from young children.

A grown-up stays with the child for every play. For children under 3, use only things too big to fit through a toilet-paper tube.
