When is a book not a book?
When it’s an inspiration for a really awesome activity!
As I was browsing through the Discover & Explore linky from last week, I was blown away by some of the great ideas that were inspired by kids books.
So this week, we’re featuring some beautiful crafts and activities that we hope will inspire you to play & create with the kids!
