It’s time to head back to school, which means school supply shopping! I love shopping for school supplies. It probably has something to do with why I started studying education in the first place. To help you get your kids ready for back to school, I’ve gathered some awesome back to school tools that can help your family get organized and get learning!

I love learning

My daughter has always been interested in art. From a young age, she has loved watching Disney’s 
I love books that encourage kids to look at the world in a different way, and let their imagination soar. So I was excited when we got the chance to check out this new book that takes familiar plants, animals and insects and shows them in funny and surprising ways. My daughter loves the silliness in this story, so we paired it with some funny and colorful activities for kids. If you are interested in teaching kids to look at the world differently, I definitely recommend checking it out!
