Let me know if that works out for you! I've never worked with kids under 6 years old; that being said, I had to teach 10-15 kids at a time, and they did great. So I suspect a 4 year old with an adult's undivided attention should work out just fine!

That looks awesome. Thanks!
Looks like you can get it for $13.96 at Amazon, which would be less expensive than 40% off of $24.95 (depending upon shipping etc.).
