Book Inspired Activities and Crafts

When I found out I was expecting my first child my mother brought over children’s books and told me to start reading to that baby now. I ready to all 3 of my children while pregnant and while they were so young they could not hold their head up.  We started a love of books early and it is still going strong. We have a nice personal library from gifts, yard sales, and online shopping. We can never pass up an opportunity to get a great new book.  We joined several other amazing bloggers in the Preschool Book Club some time ago.  My kids always get so excited to start our book club.  The kids and I enjoy reading and book activities to go with them.  I know we are not the only family that loves books and fun activities to go with some of our favorite stories.  Here you will find a quick reference to Book Inspired Activities and Crafts.
