Is there a quick way to make the facts stick? We've tried multiplication songs, but they all sounded the same. We just got wrap ups, hoping that will help and we have a flash master.

A preprinted "to do list style" notepad. It says CRAP in big letters at the top and has places to write "crap to do", "crap to buy" and "other crap" and a 1-5 crappiness scale to rate your list and a box to check when you're all crapped out.
