Episode 42: Toe Jam

Click here to listen to: Toe Jam

Hi All,

Do you have a collection? For example, our daughter has a collection of dolls. She keeps them in her room mostly, but sometimes she likes to set them out to see just how many she has. There are many types of things you can collect. Shells, spoons, rocks, stamps or anything you can think of can be collected. Share your collections with us in the comments or post it on our Facebook page!
