I stumbled across this website this week:
This gal has LOADS of GREAT book suggestions and projects to do with your kiddos. She usually posts a list of books and then TONS of great activities that relate to those books. If you're ever bored, or need ideas on a particular theme, or just want to change up your routine a little, check this site out!! It is a FANTASTIC resource.

Early Literacy in the Home
This month's KidStuff activity was about early literacy in the home--from birth up! I gave a presentation about different ways to promote literacy (in all facets) and then we made a craft. Here is the handout:

Our craft was making our children's names out of tactile letters. We cut the letters from lots of different textures! My kids love theirs. The visual and tactile combo is really great for early learning, too!
If there's anyone in my area who didn't make it but would still like materials for the craft, please don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks!
