Great tips, and a funny post, to boot! The hidden tickle for the little babies always gets me some great giggle faces, as do the fake sneezes. I haven't yet mastered getting the 3-6 year olds to quit giving me fake smiles or downright ugly faces, but then again, *sometimes* those pictures themselves are precious.

I love playing the gross card with preschoolers. What are you going to have for lunch? Cheese and pickles on toast?! I also ask them "What is your favorite thing in the world?" Then, I use what I know about that subject to get them to smile! If they can't come up with something I'll guess, and that usually gets them laughing, too. Being held by the parents also gets a winner of a smile for the younger ones. What a great guest post! I love playing the gross card with preschoolers. What are you going to have for lunch?
