Two of my boys, Royal and Logi-Bear, are huge fans of Zoey and Sassafras. They eat up every new book and love anything to do with either Zoey or Sassafras (but particularly Sassafras, because cats). We’ve been trying to transform our tree into a memorial of all the books we’ve read. This was the…
I love introducing my kids to new science concepts and words. Reading Zoey and Sassafras is a great way to find those concepts and learn about them in a meaningful way. Sometimes we need a bit of extra reinforcement to remember the new words, which is why I wanted to make these crosswords and word…
These punctuation small books and posters are great for kids who need a gentle reminder on what marks to use! Plus they are fun and colorful.Punctuation is not my best friend. And my kids aren’t super into punctuation either. But I know punctuation is important and that they will have to learn it eventually. So…
Kids don’t always love to write but with fun writing prompts, it’s much easier. This Zoey and Sassafrass themed roll a creature is the perfect prompt!Royal (8) has fallen in love with Zoey and Sassafrass books. He flew through the first three (and then re-read them each) and now he’s anxiously awaiting the 4th book….
Culture is an inescapable part of our world. Even if we never experience another culture first hand, we are entrenched in our own culture. It’s hard to imagine what another culture may be like from the comfort of our own home, but that may very well be the only way we get to experience another…
Activities and printables to go with Caps for Sale! Have a super fun week of learning while enjoying an excellent book – Caps for Sale! Logi-Bear and I have started getting back into themes and planning for our preschool lessons. He is tolerating planned activity more and more. He seems really reluctant to anything I…
The Mitten by Jan Brett is one of my favorite books. There are other illustrated versions of the folk story “The Mitten” but Jan Brett’s is my favorite. Her illustrations are just far superior to the other books. However, I have read other versions and do enjoy them immensely. Every year we seem to read…
Brown Bear, Brown Bear is one of those books kids love to read over and over again. And as much as I love Eric Carle (and I really do) I wouldn’t mind doing something with the book that doesn’t involve having to read the book…again. These printables are a great way to be doing something…
We have completely fallen in love with the pigeon books over the past few months. Royal and Logi-Bear think they are hilarious and request one nearly every single night (The Pigeon Takes a Bath is the current favorite). When the Virtual Book Club announced this months author I knew I wanted to do something with…
One of Royal’s favorite books recently has been Verdi. The book is by the same author as Stellaluna! It’s the sweet little story of a young snake that is in no hurry to grow up. He tries everything he can think of to stay young, but ends up growing older anyhow. Upon ‘turning green’ he…
Peter Brown has become one of our favorite authors. We fell in love with The Curious Garden (with our fun Curious Garden post here) and decided we had to check out his other books. So we ended up picking up YOU WILL BE MY FRIEND! , The Purple Kangaroo , and Mr. Tiger Goes Wild. …
It’s Virtual Book Club for Kids time again and this month the author is Marcus Pfister! We decided to do a craft to go along with Penguin Pete. We’d already been on a bit of a penguin kick anyway! Our local Micheals and Joanns did not have any penguin toobs so we bought 2 of…
