- A seasonal round-up (usually toward the beginning of the month)
- Posts where I share what I have been up to with my preschoolers and/or early elementary children (including occasional highlight posts where I share how we used ideas that have been linked up here on Littles Learning Link Up).
Each week, I will host a link up, where you can share either what you have been up to recently, or old posts that may go with the theme. Feel free to link up more than one post.
Each week I will continue to feature a couple of posts from those that have been linked up.
I hope you will continue to share your wonderful posts, and I hope you will find something new to try with your child.
It would be great for everyone to stop by and visit the other linked-up posts as well. Check them out, leave some comments, pin those that interest you. Let's make this a real party and socialize with each other.
It's time for this month's Round Up
It's almost been a full year since I started posting these Literature and Craft Round Ups. These posts are where I share a selection of books that focus on a specific topic (like Focusing on the Cross for Resurrection Sunday and Fishy Under the Sea) and then I share a round up of "Favorite Book List" posts that other bloggers have compiled, plus craft/activity posts that went with those books. I hope these posts have helped you find some new books to share with your children. I know they have helped me find books I have never heard of before, and reminded me of books we have read in the past but I had forgotten about. However, I think this will be the last "Literature and Craft" Round Up type post. I have been finding it difficult to come up with ideas to make it work every month. I do hope to continue with monthly Round Up posts though.
This month I decided to focus on apples. Honestly, this was supposed to be last month's round up post, but I just haven't been able to get around to getting it posted. I found a slew of books about apples, but couldn't come up with a specific craft that I had time to do with any of the books. So, I'm going to share some of the apple books we have read, share our favorites, and then move on to the lists from the other bloggers. Next week I will have some more apple ideas to share as we start co-op back up tomorrow and I am going to do some apple crafts/activities with the children in preschool.
I hope you find some new books and ideas to share with your children.
