Acoustic Rooster and His Barnyard Band by Kwame Alexander is a great introduction to jazz greats for little ones. It includes a jazz glossary, information on some of music’s greatest jazz artists and an amazing jazz timeline. I was positively delighted as I read this book to my daughter.
While you are sweating away cooking your heart out in the kitchen on Thanksgiving, do you ever sweat about what to do to keep your little turkeys busy? Well wipe your brow because I have compiled a list of activities to keep them busy while you prepare the perfect feast.
Holiday crafting with kids, it is everywhere. There are adorable turkey crafts made out of just about everything form toilet paper rolls to your child’s own hand print. Do you look forward to crafting with your kids or dread it?
Do you need to make festive Thanksgiving treats for your child’s Thanksgiving feast? Or do you just enjoy creating in the kitchen with your kids? I like to call it “Crafting in the Kitchen”. The bonus: you get to eat your creations. I am a sucker for an adorable themed holiday treat so I have decided to put together a list of our favorite cute treats.
My Daughter and I recently read Thanksgiving on Thursday by Mary Pope Osborne. I have been trying to get her to read the Magic Tree House series for quite sometime but she has been against it. She can be stubborn that way. I decided to download one on my iPad and trick her.
I love fall and everything that comes with it but one of my favorite things during this season is Halloween. I always try and make sure my family has plenty of fun things to do during the month of October, but this year I have decided to create a Halloween countdown calendar.
I don’t know about you, but I love fall. It is my favorite time of year. I love the colors, the smells, the decorations, the crafts and so much more. I like to get a jump start on the craft. So even though it’s not officially fall, we have already started creating fall masterpieces at Let’s Learn With Style.
We are huge fans of Chick-fil-A. We love the food but there are so many other things that keep us loyal to Chick-fil-A. We go there weekly for Kids Club and have been known to show up the next day for Story and Craft Time. Several of the employees know my daughter and me by name. You could say this is due to excessive visits, but I prefer to call it excellent customer service.
I considered myself pretty crafty until my daughter came along and set me straight. Don’t get me wrong, she doesn’t come out and tell me I’m not good. It has just become somewhat apparent.
She was out crafting me by three, creating her own crafts by four, and out sewing me by six. She even mends her own stuffed animals… embarrassing! If I could punish her for being better at crafts I just might do it. Since that would be frowned upon I just keep pinning and hoping to find a winner. (Disclaimer, no children were punished during the composing of this post 😉 ) Sigh… She really should have her own Pinterest page but she is too young of course, so I scour the pages for her trying to find the very best creations. With fall being one of our very favorite seasons we made sure we had more than enough crafts lined up. So I decided to share our top five in no particular order.
What is your favorite way to paint? My daughter is a self proclaimed artist so, as you can imagine, Pinterest and I are well acquainted. I am constantly pinning fun art projects and crazy craft ideas. We have an entire room devoted to craft supplies!
