Books are an avenue for endless travel experiences. Experiences that don’t include airport delays and travel headaches. Plan a couple of reading adventures with your kids that will help them fall in love with reading.
Reading Adventure: A Book Themed Dinner
This book themed dinner is based on Eric Carle’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar. A pennant banner hung in the dining room and a cupcake cake atop a striped fabric table cloth make little’s want to dive into reading.
In addition to a book themed banner and a sweet dessert, this party’s main dish follows the feast of the book’s main character. Little book lovers are sure to eat it up. Find printables similar to these here.
Reading Adventure: A Book Character Costume
Put together a favorite book character costume. Gather a cheap t-shirt and hat, some pipe cleaners and sticky-backed felt to deck out your little reader to look like their favorite book character. I don’t think I’ve seen a cuter Pete the Cat or Hungry Caterpillar than the ones below.
Reading Adventure: A Trip to the Bookstore
A trip to the bookstore is a special treat for those who love to read. Aisles, rows and shelves of books make for a dizzying array of choices. Browse the aisles with your kids, sit and read together then head home with a new book (or two).
Reading is the gateway to learning and knowledge. Fostering a love of reading in your littles will lead them on countless adventures.
Happy Adventuring, Rochelle
