Did you know yesterday was Dr. Suess' birthday? Or Read Across America Day? Or something like that?
Well, I did...only because I read it in Family Fun magazine...but still.
When I breezed through my latest issue of Family Fun and saw their idea for throwing a book party, I knew I had to do it!
I invited a few friends that also homeschool that would appreciate my zest for books and reading as well.
And I threw a glorified play date.
I hot glued chunks of cardboard together making a stamp, all of these were different widths.
And used them with paint to stamp onto a canvas bag, making their very own library bags.
I don't know if there's anything I like watching more than little kids, elbow deep in paint with their tongues out with concentration.
Then we made some personalized bookmarks and sent everyone home with a bag full of gummy worms...
to snack on while they were reading, of course. :)
happy reading!

stuff and nonsense
This is so cute and fun, Alicia (just like you.) I loved the book bags especially.
I used to throw a book worm party and our snack was cupcakes with gummy worms crawling out.
I must, because you are my friend, give you one warning. Your kids will grow up and LOVE BOOKS and they will always get third floor apartments without elevators . . .and yup, you will have to help them carry all those stack and stack of boxes of books up three flights of stairs.
Fondly,

Oh my goodness, Alicia, you have the cutest blog with the best kid party ideas. I stopped by to say "hello" and "thank you" for visiting my blog. And now I'm so I glad that you did because now I've found yours! :)
Love this and Family Fun too:) Featured your party in tomorrow's new Craft Soiree, thank you for linking.
how absolutely adorable. what a fun and creative idea. ever since I started teaching I CANNOT BUY ENOUGH children's books. there is no greater learning tool or precious moment with a child than reading with them :o)
