So this month I'm really excited to be starting something
new. Once or twice a month we are inviting a group of similarly-aged toddlers
to D around to the house for Book Club.
The format is going to loosely be:
- read a book together
- have a themed snack
- do a related craft activity
In toddlers especially, familiarity helps increase both
their attention and their engagement with activities so I'm hoping most of the
toddlers read the named book a couple of times before each Book Club so they
know the story and characters.
So this is the schedule for our first few sessions:
March 16th - Elmer by David McKee
March 27th - The Cat in the Hat by Dr Seuss
April 10th - Paddington by Michael Bond
April 13th - How to Catch a Star by Oliver Jeffers
If you want to join in with the same books then come back
after each date to see what snacks and crafts we did linked to the stories. Or
if you have any other book ideas or run your own Toddler Book Club I'd love to
hear about it and maybe we could form a linky :)
