Have you heard of #bookfaceFriday?!? If you are as addicted to Instagram as I am, and you’ve used an Instagram growth service to gain more visibility, then chances are you’re going to start seeing this hashtag pop up in your feed more often…well- more often on Fridays at least 😉 #BookfaceFriday You’ve heard of #ManCrushMonday,…
Penguins are odd birds, but nice birds to have around… Ok, maybe Tacky is the only odd bird 😉 Do you know Tacky the Penguin? He’s the first penguin I could think of when I set out to make a list of the best penguin books I could find. While Tacky cracks me up, I…
This post contains affiliate links When we bought these stepping domes back in October, I knew they would be great for indoor movement activities. They were a little bit of an investment up front (even if I did buy them on sale), but we’ve gotten great use out of them so far! Then today during home…
Books about flies. I know it’s a bit of an off-beat topic, but it’s something that caught my attention after we did this popular Fly Swatter Painting activity.We’ve since read several of these fly related books and they are actually really great!

I think every kid should have a chance to play with parachute men. They’re right up there with blocks and kites- they never go out of style. But I’ll be honest and say this is the first time we have ever bought one for my kids! I didn’t mean to deny my kids the pleasure…

With four avid toddler/preschool readers in our home, our books also suffer wear and tear and need fixing (and sometimes replacing) often. That’s why when I saw a few books on Amazon for less than $3 a piece, I was like…

I’ll say it again in bold- every teacher loves the Dollar Store. I don’t think our love for Dollar Stores can be emphasized enough. We will go into retirement forever professing our love for 99 cent classroom necessities and trinkets. We also know the things that…
Hello again, little chameleon! I know we just did a Mixed-Up Chameleon activity the other day (Mixed-Up Chameleon Paint Mixing), but my boys are really enjoying the book so here we have activity number two 🙂 Confession- I still have BOXES of teaching supplies in my garage from when I was a teacher 4 years ago, and…
This post contains affiliate links If you have a child, you probably know who Eric Carle is. I mean, besides Dr. Seuss, he’s one of the most well-known children’s authors! And if you’re anything like us, you’ve probably read The Very Hungry Caterpillar more times than you can count, too. We finally took a break…
