Rainy Day Mum Wednesday, 9th of May 2012 at 07:00:00 AM As part of 30 days to hands on play challenge that I am revisiting at the moment Day 14 was Act out a Story it was so much fun that I have decided to write it as a full post instead of a short outline of our activity like I have been doing for the days.

Today’s Challenge: A reading tent We read every day, all around the house when ever the mood takes us so today we took up the challenge and I got out [...] Rainy Day Mum Monday, 7th of May 2012 at 07:00:00 AM We are loving our Farm books so much and still very much into Farm themed activities and crafts that I have decided with J we will continue having the farm books as his books this week so this week I’m sharing the 5 books that T adores and has since she started to pay an interest to books. The first book is the first book we brought her – it’s a lift the flap peekaboo book for bedtime with soothing blue calm pictures of toys getting ready for bed and ending up [...] Rainy Day Mum Monday, 30th of April 2012 at 07:00:00 AM Last week we missed a week of books as I knew that we wouldn’t have time to dedicate to read 5 books a day – instead we somehow seemed to have read more judging by the number of books that were spread around the house by the end of each day. This weeks books are Farm based we’re having regularly visits to the farm (this weeks Exploring outdoors post will be a return to the farm post) and it’s full of baby animals which J and T love. The first book is [...] Rainy Day Mum Thursday, 26th of April 2012 at 07:00:00 AM WOHO it’s back – the virtual book club with Toddler Approved. This months book is The Carrot Seed. I had it as one of our garden books last week and J and I have had great fun reading through the book as well as watching it being read to us on youtube (isn’t it refreshing to have someone else do the reading to a toddler and you get to listen to it). So onto our activity. J is 32 months old and I needed something that was fun and that he would connect with. Every time we read the book he would point to the little plant label and ask [...] |

I love sharing some of my favourite blogs with you at the weekend, and this week I’m sharing blogs that bring books alive. Reading is so important and the earlier you start reading the better, but it’s not always easy to get everyone interested in literacy – one of the ways is to bring books alive with activities, plays ideas, crafts etc….
First off is Sun Hats and Wellie Boots, wrote by another British Author this blog brings alive many of my favourite stories, I’m still [...]
I hadn’t done this with J or T before – yes we’ve taken our literacy outside, we’ve made it into characters but I’ve never acted it out with them. Goldilocks and the three bears is one of the few books [...]
