I am beyond excited for today’s Discover & Explore linky!! And for two very cool reasons —
First, we are starting our fall themes and I just LOVE Autumn 🙂
And more importantly, I’m thrilled to announce that Discover & Explore is now being hosted on 5 amazing blogs!
Discover & Explore Back to School
Today’s theme is Back to School so I thought I would introduce you to each of the blogs along with a few of their wonderful ideas for kick-starting a great school year.
Fantastic Fun & Learning
Shaunna with Fantastic Fun & Learning will continue to be one of our awesome hosts. She is a teacher who now loves learning at home with her kids. You’ll find wonderful ideas for sensory play, book-related activities and fun ways to learn.
Make sure to read this amazing round-up of more than 100 Ways to Learn your ABC’s for fun ways to help the kids practice this year!
Twodaloo
Stephanie from Twodaloo is one of our new hosts and a speech-language pathologist. She loves to share creative art, play and learning ideas along with some super-cute DIY crafts!
Head over and see her 30 Fun Ways to Explore Colors post for some back to school learning.
Buggy & Buddy
Buggy & Buddy is also joining us this year! Chelsey is a former elementary school teacher who inspires her readers to create, play and learn. You will LOVE her creative art projects along with her creative play ideas.
I love her 5-part Learning to Read series — a wonderful resource for any home with kids!
Teach Preschool
Deborah from Teach Preschool is not only one of our hosts but she’s also the author of Ready for Kindergarten!: Your Essential Guide to Kindergarten Prep
My favorite area at Teach Preschool is the Creative Art Ideas – more than 200 ideas & projects all organized by topic and theme!
Edventures with Kids
And if you’re looking for some fun reads as the kids head back to school, make sure to visit our Best Back to School Books by Grade for kids from preschool through middle school.
Want to get Organized before School begins?
I highly recommend the Makeover Your Mornings e-course! It really helped me to think about what I want to achieve early in the day and gave me TONS of free printables & ideas on how to get organized!
It’s only 15 minutes a day and is perfect for helping you tame the chaos that happens with back to school time.
