Children's Book Week

You have every excuse to take time out and read to a child this week (FUN!) This week is Children's Book Week. In honor of that I will share one of our favorite books and some lesson ideas to go along with it to add to the Book Nook (you will find a link to our Book Nook on your left sidebar too).

Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? was one of our first "favorites" because Jay could read it by himself. It's a charming story with animals and colors. It also rhymes and is fun to read aloud because there is a rhythm to the words that is fun to say.

We have been having fun with some learning activities that go along with this book.  Reading together is fun and it leads to lots of other learning when you take it to the next level.

To see what I mean, check out these learning activities that coordinate with this book:

Heads and Tails (from this awesome blog)

Lacing Cards of animals

Shadow Matching Game

Play dough mats for an activity with animals and colors

Tracing activities for fine motor skills

Coloring pages with coordinating animals

Size Sequencing with Brown Bear

Have fun reading and learning with This Little Project. Check back for other fun book projects this week :)
