Coming soon, as the site announces, is a record your own story section which will allow kids and parents to record their own voices reading (or singing!) their favorite story, song, or nursery rhyme. Anything that aids in the improvement and creation of kids wanting to read or listen to stories is a great idea.

Ugly Duckling Week
May 31st 2009 07:02
We have various Ugly Duckling and Swan pictures to cut out and glue together, although my favourite is this 3D duck. We are unable to source the plastic eggs although are going to amend it slightly by using small paper cups which should do the trick just nicely!
Paper plate crafts are so easy to create, especially for the little ones, so we are going to do this fun duck paper plate craft with handprint tail. For variety on a similar theme, Dannielle's Place also features a similar paper plate craft.
These cotton ball ducks are just adorable and the ducks in a pond craft from Crayola includes both painting and gluing.
We are going to try our hand at origami - the swan for beginners - is a great place to start and the black and white sock craft is a great way to show the transition from ugly duckling to beautiful swan.
There are a myriad of duck pictures to colour in and the Scholastic site features a printout whereby the children can create their own animal tale.

Send In The Clowns
May 24th 2009 02:59
Loonette and Molly from the Canadian Series, The Big Comfy Couch, are a particular favourite in our house so at least I had a starting point on which to base our activities. And in particular I love the concept of a 10-second tidy which we are going to incorporate with a clown based cleaning chart.
Craft wise - cardboard megaphones, bow ties and clown hats will be a feature and face painting and juggling will no doubt be a daily occurrence this week.
Focussing on expressions and feelings this week, this blank faced clown drawing is a great place to start as well as the easy paint activity of just drawing simple faces onto paper plates.
First School again came to our aid with numerous clown pictures, simple clown crafts and a number of easy clown related jigsaw puzzles. And we found a number of sites which provided us with counting, addition and pattern activities to build on our number skills.
The Dr Seuss story, If I Ran The Circus, will be introduced this week and the online children's library comes to our aid with The CIrcus Procession and The First Circus. For the younger readers, Cbeebies features an easy story for children entitled Where's My Hat? and a song entitled The Funniest Clown.

Barbie Week
April 16th 2009 08:03
We are basing Barbie Week on three golden books published in the mid to late 90's entitled Barbie In The Spotlight, Barbie Soccer Coach and Very Busy Barbie. The lessons these books teach are honesty, fairness and helpfulness so we shouldn't go too far wrong with these titles
