Challenge: Milestone Challenges – Stage Fright

Milestone moments and first times can be scary for little ones! Prepare for these occasions by reading books that spark conversations. When the curtain goes up, no one really knows who is ready for the bright lights and the sea of faces in the audience. Few children—or adults—face the stage without butterflies. Here are books to help children put their best feet forward!

When you complete 2 tasks, you will earn 20 points and a badge.

Circle with curtains and a stage in the middle.
