The kids have been talking about Dr. Seuss for a few days now. I knew that they would be doing activities related to his birthday at school. I was tempted to celebrate at home too, but then I decided to celebrate National Read Across America Day.....which happens to be on the same day.
And then, thanks to FamilyFun (which I am grateful for), I got the idea for the invites.
Family fun has ones that you can just print off, but since there is a lack of printers in my house I made some by hand. They are meant to look like the old library cards we had when I was a kid.
And then they got to each sign up for a library card (there is a template for these you can print off too at FamilyFun).
They had to read a minimum of 4 books and for each book got a stamp on their card. My kids don't really fight having to read. But this time I made it even more fun by giving them a small prize if they got all 4 stamps on their card.
Another idea I got from that website are these fun 'book worms' that the girls loved to eat while reading.
Hurray for reading! =)
Can you guess what today is?
It is KoolAid day!!!! So we just had to celebrate!
We made our own scratch and sniff picture with the yummy stuff. And, of course, we drank some of this super sweet drink!
Just wish a had a cool koolaid shirt to wear...or some of those koolaid cups you could get with the koolaid points forever ago. *sigh* ;)
I am grateful that A was feeling MUCH better today!
