Farmer Pete Coloring Pages

Posted by Pinparent — No Comments

It has been an exciting couple of weeks. We have had a few readings of our book ‘Farmer Pete has Stinky Feet’ at schools and at our local library. The kids have been amazing and so much fun throughout the process. They have asked a ton of adorable questions and made me glow with the cutest and sweetest comments. We set up a craft table for the kids at the reading event at the library. I also made a couple of coloring pages taken from my book. They all dove in and enjoyed both the craft and the coloring pages. I wanted to share those coloring pages with all of you. The kiddos really got a kick out of these. I hope that you do too.

If you have a reader and crafter at home, these mixed media bookmarks are a great idea.

I have been reading to my little girl since the day that she was born. Reading is an important part of my life and I wanted to make sure that it was the same for my daughter. I tried teaching her to read as soon as I thought that she was ready. She loved books, but it was no easy feat. She was resistant and would get frustrated easily. This year, she started Kindergarten and it became even more important for us to work on her reading together. Still, she did not like working with mommy and then we were introduced to Reading Eggs.

Pete the Cat Paper Bag Puppet

Posted by Pinparent — No Comments

A special thanks to Shikha from The Joy of Sharing for sharing this wonderful Pete the Cat inspired puppet craft with us. She has a lot of fun and creative ideas, be sure to head over to her page.

Hello! I am Shikha from The Joy of Sharing. Craft is my passion. So much that, my three-year-old daughter and I create crafts together in her play time. My daughter loves doodling and cutting so it’s a lot of fun for both of us. I love sharing easy , fun and educational crafts that can be created by moms with their tots or preschool teachers with their students. Happy crafting!

“Not everyone is the same. But being kind is always cool.” Pete the Cat (James Dean)

Pete the cat is wise and funny. That’s why we introduced her to our tot in the last few weeks If our tot adopted Pete’s attitude early in her life, she would take a lot less stress and be a happy person.

So, this post is to celebrate this spunky book character in our characteristic craft style – a paper bag puppet craft of Pete as the tooth fairy. It turned out really well with her magic wings while giving our tot some preparation for the future: she will lose some teeth but should she panic? Goodness No! Pete does not panic!

Enjoy making this craft with your little ones and see them pick up some life skills on the side.

Happy Crafting!

Yarn Lorax Mustache

Posted by Pinparent — No Comments

Yesterday, my daughter and I made mixed media truffula trees inspired by one of our favorite Dr. Seuss books, ‘The Lorax’. We kept the Lorax love going with one more craft. The Lorax is known for his short stature, his love of the environment and that signature mustache. We thought that a mustache prop would be a ton of fun.

Mixed Media Truffula Trees

Posted by Pinparent — 1 Comment

My daughter loves Dr. Seuss. Whenever we go to the library, she always looks through his books for one that we haven’t read in a while or for an old favorite. The Lorax is one of those favorites. It is a favorite of mine as well.

We have been on a huge mixed media kick lately and I thought that the truffula trees from ‘The Lorax’ would make a beautiful project for us to do together.

As you know, we love to read. We regularly visit the library & just love to find new books to read.

On our last visit to the library, we found a book that we chose for its funny name. The title ‘Yucky Worms’ attracted my daughter. It got quite a chuckle.
