ABC Books

Today is our last day of school so of course I’ve been busy thinking about summer activities.  One thing we love to do around here is read.  We always start the summer with a trip to the library and often max out our card limit of 50 books.  If you are looking for some ideas to encourage summer reading, check out this fun post.

On our journey to reading, this ABC photo book was a favorite project I made when my little guy was a toddler and learning his alphabet.

Matching the letters with my pictures was actually quite fun!

Here are a few other ABC and First Words photo books that I think would get any kid excited about reading this summer…

A quick Google search will yield ideas for each letter of the alphabet such as:

A | Apple, apple juice, applesauce, ask, art, astronaut, airplane, autumn, ask, aunt, ant, alligator, artichoke, automobile, arrow, acrobat, asleep, appetite, artwork, anniversary, asparagus, anticipate, await, artistic, avocado, apron

For my book, I looked through my pictures and came up with the following letters:  aunt, adventurous, books, bubbles, bikes, cowboy, cars, Dad, dimples, dress-up, eyes, family, fish, friends, grandparents, helmet, I love you, jeep, kiss, legos, Mom, naked, outside, pirate, quick, ride, read, sister, sledding, skiing, swimming, trains, tractor, uncle, umbrella, vroom, water, xoxo, yummy, zzzzzzz.

Happy reading!

School Artwork

If you have young school-age children, you are likely surrounded by mountains of artwork right now.  For PhotoBook Friday today I thought I would share a few book ideas for cutting down that clutter while still preserving those memories.

I am sharing book ideas from other people because I made the decision awhile ago that I actually like to touch and feel kid artwork.  The smell of tempera paint and glue take me back to that co-op preschool as much as looking at the final outcome.  So, I have dedicated one 70 quart Sterilite bin to kid artwork.  It is pretty close to full but the artwork is also slowing down so I think this one bin is going to work for me.

If you are happy and ready to get rid of the artwork, how about making a book of your child’s masterpieces like these two fun ideas…

Maybe some day I will feel motivated to create something like this, but for now I’m content with my happy art project bin!
