It’s Monday, which means, along with What Do We Do All Day? No Twiddle Twaddle, Smiling Like Sunshine, Mommy and Me Book Club, and Mouse Grows, Mouse Learns, we bring you another edition of The Children’s Bookshelf.
The Children’s Bookshelf gives bloggers the chance to link up any book or reading-related post so that we have a collection of amazing posts in one place that helps us inspire a love of reading in our children.
Each week, I feature a number of my favourite posts that were linked up to The Children’s Bookshelf.
Featured Post of the Week:
Just for Daisy: We’re Going on a Bear Hunt Felt Book
I’ve seen lots of ideas for engaging children in the story We’re Going on a Bear Hunt felt book by Michael Rosen. This idea offers a sensory experience for children. Bek from Just for Daisy created a felt book for her daughter, which includes textures and flaps. The best part of this project is that you don’t need a sewing machine to create it- just a glue gun.
Also well worth a visit and a read are:
Off the Shelf: Monster-Mashed Potatoes
I love the idea of getting creative with food presentations, especially when we invite our children to get involved. This wild and monstery meal is one that Max from the infamous Where the Wild Things Are would surely be happy to eat.
Mommy and Me Book Club: Pouch
I love any book that features the adorable native animals of Australia, and although I haven’t read this book myself I was excited by the fun array of reading activities in this post that were inspired by a kangaroo’s pouch.
Vintage Books for the Very Young: Childcraft Poems and Rhymes
Anyone who loves vintage children’s books will most definitely get pleasure from scrolling through this post. I know I did.
