I am a huge Harry Potter fan. I vividly remember when my sister got me interested in the books, and I rushed home from school to keep reading them. Since then, I have reread the series and watched the movies over and over again. I still love the magic world that JK Rowling created. My daughter isn’t old enough to read the books yet, but she already knows who Harry Potter is. I decided to gather some fun new Harry Potter gifts and books that are perfect for bringing a little magic to your holidays.
I love finding new educational gifts for kids that allow families to make learning fun. So every year, I am excited to put together a list of educational toys and products that encourage families to find the learning opportunities in every day life. Check out some of these fun games, kits, and scientific equipment that kids will love to open on Christmas morning!
My daughter has never liked having her hair brushed. She has had lots of hair since birth, so we have spent a lot of time battling over the brush. Lately, I have found some great tricks to help with hair brushing time, including sweet and silly children’s books about hair, and handy tools for detangling and brushing. I hope these help you to end hair brush battles in your family too!
Kids love fire trucks. The bright colors, the flashing lights, and the loud horns are all entertaining to little ones. So a cute fire truck is a great way to introduce fire safety to young kids. So today we paired fire safety activities with an adorable children’s book about a small, but determined, fire truck.
We all struggle with stress in our lives. From the pressures of school or work, to battling our fears and worries, we all need help managing our stress. For kids, it can be difficult to understand what they are feeling, and they need our help learning how to cope. This list of mindfulness books uses different methods for teaching kids to cope with stress, and encourages them to use mindfulness to keep their emotions under control.
I love dogs. They are such smart, kind, and big-hearted animals. So I love hearing stories about amazing dogs who help those who need it. I have a cousin who trains service dogs, so it is a cause that is near to my heart. I have spent a lot of time talking to my daughter about service dogs and their training. So I was thrilled to check out this adorable children’s book about service dogs, starring a sweet dog named Boomer!
What is it about bears that we love so much? Whatever it is about them, they make wonderful characters for kids to relate to and love. From the very beginning of life, we give kids teddy bears, and other toys and blankets covered in the adorable creatures. I decided to gather this list of new bear books for kids to honor these sweet animals that we just want to befriend (and snuggle). So cozy up with your favorite teddy bear and meet the friendly bears in these stories!
My daughter and I both recently started taking dance classes. So our lives are full of dancing and dance related activities. She loves dancing and spinning, so naturally we are always excited to read kids books about ballet and dancing. Today I decided to share some of the ballerina books for kids that we have been reading, and pair them with beautiful ballerina crafts.
I absolutely love watching my daughter’s imagination at work. I wish I could still see the world the way that she does. As we grow up, we lose some of that ability to imagine and be creative all the time. To help nurture that skill in our children, and to remind ourselves how to use it as adults, I decided to gather this list of kid’s books about imagination and creativity! I hope it helps to keep that spark of imagination alive for a little while longer.
