Mix It Up Book Inspired Fingerprint Art

This weeks Preschool Book Club is exploring Mix It Up! A new book by Herve Tullet.  

We had so much fun with his book Press Here that we could not wait to read this one.

After reading the book a few times with the kids I knew just what we could do.  Fun Fingerprint and Handprint art.  Simple yet so much fun for multiple aged kids.  There are so many ideas bubbling in my mind for this book.  I hope to try a few more when we have extra time.  Things have just been crazy over here at my house. Sure you all know how that is!  This activity is perfect for the kids though.  Even when we do not have lots of time to prep.  Set the kids up and let them have fun. 

Ten Apples Up on Top Apple Sensory Bag

This week's Preschool Book Club is reading Ten Apples Up On Top!  We love this book.  I was so excited that it came up in the list for the book club to explore.  We did  Ten Apples Up On Top- counting and matching activity  before and my son enjoyed it.  To explore the book today we created an Apple Sensory Bag.  

DIY Walking Sticks inspired by Pete the Cat I Love My White Shoes

This week's Preschool Book Club is reading Pete The Cat I Love My White Shoes.  The kids are big Pete the Cat fans.  They could not wait to read another Pete book.  I had to think for a while what we wanted to do to go with the book.  A taste test came to mind and so did sensory play, but I went a totally different direction with a DIY Walking Stick.  Now we can go for a fun walk in our favorite shoes with our hip walking stick by our side.

Paper Bag Bear Puppets for We're Going on a Bear Hunt

It is time for this week's Preschool Book Club!  This week we are exploring We're Going on a Bear Hunt!  We made some fun paper bag bear puppets.  Now we can chase each other through the house with our bear puppets.  Grab some paper bags and make your own bear puppet for playtime.

Press Here Book Inspired Eraser Paintings

This month's Preschool Books Club brings you Press Here!  A fun book for the family.  We had never heard of this book before the book club.  The kids just loved that they got to get involved while reading it.  We set out to make some Eraser Paintings to look like pages from the book.

Purple Lavender Crayon Soaps for Harold and the Purple Crayon

It is time for this weeks Preschool Book Club post!!  Today we are sharing our inspiration from Harold and the Purple Crayon book we read this month.  After reading this book, I knew just what I wanted to make, Purple Lavender Scented Crayon Soaps.  We love making soap as you can see here Homemade Soap The Kids Can Help Make {in fun shapes}.  We had a lot of fun making these and playing with them too.

Kissing Hand Book Craft and Activity

Are you ready for the Preschool Book Club to start back up!  We were and could not wait to start doing book activities again.  Today we are sharing on a classic back to school book the Kissing Hand.  As long as this book has been around I must admit this year was the first time I read it.  Such a great book for nervous kids starting school.  We set out to make a print craft and I came up with a "token of love" to send with my kids to school.

I had a fun idea for a Juicy Juice Science Experiment Playdate for the boys. The idea of using a product we loved and creating a fun experiment for the kids got me really excited. We love simple science at my house and I could not wait to see their reaction to it. As I continued thinking on this activity I decided to let them create science journals for our experiment. We used some really cool Crayola crayons to do this. This was the perfect way to spend an afternoon at my house exploring, crafting, playing, learning...

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom- Letter Learning Activity for Kids

We finally got our own copy of Chicka Chicka Boom Boom last fall.  I had heard it was a big hit with kids and a great way to learn letters.  I was not sure if we would like it or not, but I looked forward to reading it with the kids.  We sat down one night and started to read the book.  The kids really enjoyed the fun story of all the letters climbing a tree.  I admit I liked it too.  After reading the book 5 times in a row for that one sitting I would say it was a keeper.  

This week's Preschool Book Club is  for the book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. I could not wait to set the kids up with a book inspired activity.

Pete The Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons- Counting Activity

Excited to be teaming up with some amazing moms for the next few weeks to bring you the Preschool Book Club.  To start us off is Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons.  I went with a counting activity for this book. I had just made a few number cards for the kids and they seemed perfect for this book.  My oldest really enjoyed our learning activity and both my boys enjoyed the book.
