Welcome to the first post in the Poppin's Book Nook!
I am so excited to be participating in this brand new virtual book club with so many other fun and creative bloggers! Each month we will be given a theme and each participating blogger is free to choose their own book within that theme. We will be posting about our book and any related activities or crafts we did based on the book, on the last Monday of every month. With so many bloggers participating, your sure to see a wide range of books and activities within each months theme!
To see a list of all of our upcoming topics, visit Enchanted Homeschooling Mom!
March's theme is related to
Knight's, Kings, Queens, Princesses, Castles, and Dragons
and all things Royalty!
and we have chosen the book
King Jack and his friends build a cardboard box fortress outside and spend the day bravely fighting dragons and beasts. That is until bedtime when it is growing dark, playtime is over, and everyone has gone home- leaving King Jack alone to defend the fortress! My oldest (4) loved this imaginative and suspenseful story!
After reading this book, a fortress for my two kings was to be built!
But first, the kings needed their crowns and dragon-fighting swords!
We created very simple crowns with two pieces of construction paper taped together and "crown cut" on one end, then decorated. The swords were made with a few pieces of cardboard from a diaper box. L (4 1/2) helped make both his crown and sword, and his little brother's (1 1/2 yrs).
A simple fortress was made in our entryway and
then days of make-believe followed!
I usually played the dragon, but we also had a toy dragon that filled in when mommy got tired lol.
Coloring Pages
Another simple activity we did, was color some dragon coloring pages. I found these by simply looking up "dragon coloring pages for kids" on Google Images. There are some pretty cute and not too scary dragon coloring pages out there, such as THIS ONE!
Next month's theme is Wizards!
Make sure you visit The Poppin's Book Nook's
