I’m thrilled to be working with Bookboard this season as one of our holiday sponsors. Kids will love receiving the gift of reading with a free subscription to their online library.
We have a wonderful gift idea for the kids this year – their very own online library!
Yes, I’m totally serious.
Have you ever read a book with the kids and thought “Wow! I wish there was something more that we could do with the story.” ? Than boy do we have an awesome post for you today! One of our amazing friends has created a book of extension activities to pair with the much loved …
I’m sure you can remember yourself singing the ABC song at some point in your life. It’s one of the most popular and well-known songs {in fact, just my mention probably has it running through your head right now}. As parents, we devote a lot of time in helping our kids to learn the fundamentals …
Today we’re featuring our book/activity idea for the Poppins Book Nook, a monthly book club that introduces new books and hands-on fun for your kids. This month’s theme is Dinosaurs and we’ll be connecting with a number of fun blogs that will each share a dinosaur book & project you can try at home. …
Today we are exploring Moon Activities for Kids in preschool, kindergarten and first grade (older kids will enjoy them too!) as we wrap up our Discover & Explore Moon, Stars and Nighttime Sky. We had some really creative ideas for teaching your kids about the moon shared last week so I wanted to feature some …

So, as a parent, here’s where I jump up and down saying ‘Yea! She loves to read!” but the practical side of me says there’s no way we can pack that many books. Not to mention, she’s a voracious reader (finishes a book off faster than an ice cream cone!) so she’ll tear through those in the first few days of our trip and then need more.
Inspire kids to explore the solar system with these picture books, chapter books & nonfiction books about space! When our kids were 6 & 12, we took a trip to a local observatory for one of their public viewing nights. Talk about a view! The astonomers brought us up a very tall set of circular …
Enjoy these mystery picture books & chapter books for kids who love playing detective! Do you have a child who loves a good mystery? Our youngest adores detective books — in fact, when she first started reading on her own, that was the only genre she would read. We would visit the library and search …
I especially enjoy reminiscing with holiday books – they always bring back fun memories of the dressing up in our Easter finest, large family get-togethers and egg hunts around the house.
Upcycle items from around the house for this easy tornado in a bottle science experiment! Sometimes an activity can introduce us to something that we aren’t able to experience in real life and today’s science project does just that! Spring brings all kinds of weather across the country and one of the worst types of …
