Maybe it’s me, but it doesn’t feel like summer here in Pittsburgh! I’m captive indoors due to all this rain!! If you are tired of the rain & gray skies or excited to kick off summer - I have some exciting titles to get you and the kids back in the spirit of summertime!
Now through the end of June, I am offering 20% off your order (phone or e-mail me your order - click here for my contact information) - in addition, I’ll also mail the kids a cute, summer goodie box to help chase the rainy day blues away (min. order $30)!
TOP TEN SUMMER IDEAS
1. Teach your child to swim $12.99 - great resource for any parent with children learning to swim (even if you know how - it’s a good brush up - in usual Usborne fashion, each step discussed has an illustration to accompany it.
2. 100 Things for Little Children to do on a Trip $9.99 - This should be titled “for little children to do - period” - features dry erase marker & wipe off cards - endless activities for ages 3-7+ while waiting at a restaurant, at the doctors, in line at the amusement park, etc… I hole-punched mine & keep it in my purse for fun on the go!
3. Learning Wrap-Ups $9.99 - a great tactile learning tool that utilizes both sides of the brain - Addition, Division, Multiplication, States/Capitals, Subtraction.
4. 365 Things to Make & Do $24.99 - There you go - an activity a day for a year… what a bargain!
5. Sticker Dolly Dressing - Go On Vacation or Summer Sticker Book $8.99 - we took this one to the pool with us last year and immediately had a group of kids all wanting to help “do stickers!”
6. Planning a trip to the beach, lake or pool? Get kids interested with any of these titles: click here On the Beach Lift-the-Flap, Under the Sea Lift-the -Flap, See Under the Sea, On the Seashore, Under the Sea, Sharks, Seashore, 1001 Things to Spot in the Sea, The Great Under Sea Search, Dot to Dot Seashore, Puzzle Ocean, Little Encyclopedia of Oceans and Seas, Whales & Dolphins, etc…
7. Cooking Cards - Easy / Healthy / Yummy - $9.99 Set of 30 cards for step-by-step instructions for cooking with your children - I prefer the cards to the books because I can weed out the recipes that I don’t want to do or we don’t have the ingredients for - that way they still feel like they have a choice in what we are concocting!
8. I can draw Animals or People - $4.99 - These books are awesome! My 4-1/2 yr old loves the satisfaction of drawing things outside of his expertise (rainbows and stick people) - pair this book with a bucket of sidewalk chalk & you have a wonderful summer birthday gift!
9. 100 Science Experiments - $15.99 - Cooking in the Sun, creating crystals, sprouting seeds, etc…way better than Noggin!
10. 100 Things to Spot in the Night Sky - $9.99 - grab these spotter’s cards, throw up a tent, gather round the campfire & see if you can find the constellations!
