{For your convenience, this post may contain affiliate links} I love doing activities based on books. A while back I saw a blog post revolved around the book Birds by Kevin Henkes. The post had some simple and fun ideas based on the book, but the one that stood out to me was feather painting!…
{For your convenience, this post may contain affiliate links} After receiving the Nuby iMonster bowl and Snack Keeper for review purposes, my boys have really been interested in reading and doing silly monster activities!

{For your convenience, this post may contain affiliate links} Flies are a terrible nuisance, but I’m not a big fan of using fly swatters either (I can’t stand the thought of actually killing the pests myself. Hubby is more than welcome to do that job for me. When I try getting rid of flies,…

{For your convenience, this post may contain affiliate links} We’ve been taking a lot more library trips lately, which in turn is inspiring a whole lot of activities based on books. Our latest was based on the Caldecott Honor book Green by Laura Vaccaro Seeger. Love this book. Just love it. If you’re looking for…
{For your convenience, this post may contain affiliate links} Have you read the book Press Here by Herve Tullet? It’s a super fun book that’s all interactive for the kids.
