This super-cute picture book by Adam Rubin and illustrated by Daniel Salmieri is a fun read for ages 4 & older. It'll tell you all you need to know about how to throw a successful taco party for dragons: how they like their tacos and how they don't (i.e. NO spicy salsa.) Because, of course, it's something … Continue reading Dragons Love Tacos

Harry Potter Club
At our Harry Potter Club this month we made these really cool Lumos/Nox lightswitch plates that I found via Pinterest. A very talented person made the original picture on her computer and printed it out to put on a lightswitch plate.

Lego Club – Food Challenge!
This is from a few months ago. I was so impressed with what some of these kids came up with! Whenever we have Lego Club, I put a LEGO CHALLENGE on the dry-erase board. Some kids choose to try the challenge, but most kids just make whatever they want. It's totally up to them. Usually … Continue reading Lego Club – Food Challenge!

Easter Story Time
Yup, it's definitely past Easter. Trying to catch up on my Story Time posts! Holiday picture books are tough to find - especially for 3-year-olds. They have the tendency to be on the longer side. The kids did pretty well with the two I chose: The Story of the Easter Bunny by Katherine Tegen and … Continue reading Easter Story Time
