📚PICTURE DAY PERFECTION -Deborah Diesen, illust Dan Santat ☕️☕️☕️ 3.5 #KristiCocoas School picture day told through the eyes of a rather messy little boy. The children will enjoy it while it may stress out a few moms out there. 📱Activities: My kids LOVE photos of themselves. I’m sure yours do too! Make an intentional effort to play with them. Ideas: 🔲Take slo-mo videos of them jumping off the couch or twirling or trampoline flips and watch them together. 🔲Pick a random emotion and take pics and see which pic is the best! Easy printable list on this website: https://www.therapistaid.com/therapy-worksheet/list-of-emotions Not to mention this is an excellent activity to have discussions about emotional health! 🔲Using a photo layout app, take photos that look like they’re interacting when out together in the different formats -think Brady Bunch here. 🔲Recreate favorite moments from movies and take a pic. This is fun to do as a guessing game with 2 teams or two remote families -you send the pics and guesses back and forth! #kidlit #recommendedreading

📚+🥔 JAMIE O’ROURKE AND THE BIG POTATO -AN IRISH FOLKTALE -Tomie dePaola
☕️☕️☕️☕️4.0 #KristiCocoas 📚This is one from my youth that I still remember thinking “but he never learned his lesson!” and I still think that but almost love the story more for that! Lots of good character analysis even for your shorties to do in this one! 🥔Activity Ideas: •Online Read-aloud version to listen to during your St. Patrick’s party or while doing one of the activities below! https://youtu.be/g4eJxJ5v3rk •How long could you survive on potato? Look up how many different dishes can be made with potato and try making a new one! •If you caught a leprechaun, what would you want with your pot of gold? Make a large batch of some mashed potatoes (bonus: dye them green for fun!) and sculpt what you’d spend your gold on! •Leprechaun traps! Look online for ideas! *Yours truly was able to visit Dublin and, as a self proclaimed author, I have to brag that I saw the Book of Kells at Trinity College! #kidlit #recommendedreading #PB Giggle, Giggle, Quack -Doreen Cronin & Betsy Lewin
☕️☕️☕️☕️ 4.5 #KristiCocoas Wonderful introduction of inference -can your shorties figure out what's going on? A couple nods to the adults reading the book, with smiles guaranteed for the kids! Also an excellent #bedtimebook! #kidlit #PB |
