Come in, sit down, and join us for storytime. We'll do a few crafts and have some refreshments. You might even learn a thing or two. But don't worry, you'll be having so much fun that you probably won't even notice.
Literature Pockets, Folktales & Fairytales, Grades K-1
Amazon Price: $10.19 (as of 12/02/2008)
I am currently using this product with my two little girls, ages 3 1/2 and 4 3/4. They are having so much fun. There is a lot of coloring, cutting, and pasteing which is nice because it gives them something to keep them busy while I am teaching the older kids. This product would also be easy to adapt to lapbooking if the master pages were printed smaller.
You can also purchase a digital copy of this product from Currclick, which makes it much easier to print copies for multiple children.
