@Connie I am not sure of any other websites. I think the colors reflect the traffic lights. Red for stop, you are having a bad day; yellow, slow down, you can either have better or worse behavior from this point; and green, go: you're having a great day! That's what I think this system means.

Can someone clarify NAEYC's position on play with food items. I saw three presentations yesterday that included it as a positive and my coworkers saw some too. What's the official position of NAEYC?

Marnie - Here is one example of an article written in Teaching Young Children on the subject: http://www.naeyc.org/tyc/article/pgpbakingbread

I would also check www.naeyc.org/torch for more information about what our Accreditation standards say on this subject. If you really want to get one-on-one consultation on this, feel free to call 1-800-424-2460 choose option 3, then option 1.
