SpiderwickActivities: The Notebook Offers Limitless Possibilities
The publishers at Simon & Schuster have done a remarkable job of developing unique opportunities that transform these moviebooks into valuable learning tools. As your child begins their journey with the SpiderwickFieldGuide, they're very likely to be entirely fascinated by this type of journaling. These moviebooks are unique - as your child reads the notebook excerpts and hand drawn creature revelations, they may be inspired to create their own observations, clinical notes and drawings. You can do much to encourage these inspirations by being aware of their interests and providing these delightful learningtools to foster their growth.
Arthur SpiderwicksField Guideto the FantasticalWorld Around You and all the other SpiderwickActivityBooks will amplify your child's learningskills in a variety of ways:Sense of Observation: Fieldnotes always begin with carefulobservations that ask the questions of what, where, when, how and why. From the wonder of snowflakes to your garden or household pets, you can gently urge your child to look deeper, ask questions, notice subtle differences and then write down their examinations and conclusions. Share and review your child's entries and then validate their notations to give them a boost of confidence to continue in this realm. (See page excerpts from the SWCFieldGuide here.)
Focused Concentration: Examination of the details in the world around us requires deeper thinking patterns. You can inspire them to take careful measurements, clarify various subtleties, and then record their summations in their journal. Nurturing this ability to concentrate on even the smallest or the most trivial things will improve all of the ways in which they learn - fostering their critical thinking well into the future. Make-Your-OwnFieldGuide (Carry Along ColoringKit.)
Drawing Skills: Another enjoyable aspect of notetaking is sketching and rendering. Every youngchild loves to draw and these activity focused funbooks will assist them by providing numerous examples for comparison and the motivation to copy or invent their own. Maps, diagrams, graphic measures and charts can all supplement their reports too. And you might find a budding artist in your midst. Make sure you let them know that drawingskills get better through time and practice. Don't let them worry that their renditions aren't 'good enough' to be in theirbook. Also, if they goof up on a page and get discouraged, it's easy enough to take an exacto knife and remove just that goofup. Inspire even more creations with colored pencils, watercolors, markers and stickers. UncleArthur's Art Studio
Sense of Wonder: All children are given this natural ability to wonder as they venture into differentrealms. When we carefully analyze virtually any single thing at all, we are open to its seemingly infinite composition. The possibility for constant bewilderment is endless. Cultivate their wonderment and give depth to their study by adding simple things like: a magnifying glass, flashlight, or a microscope.Writing Skills: Through the process of continual notetaking, your kids will automatically be expanding their writing habits, and honing academic ability. Your recognition and support of their entries will be the motivator for continued interest and success. When I was 11, I received an A++++ on a paper I did in school where I took the point of view of fresh fallen snow. That one grade and the encouragement I received from it, propelled me into a lifelong loving pursuit of writing and poetry.
Refining Their Interests: The things that we love as youngchildren are very good forecasters of future professional choices. If your kids revel in detailed analysis and measuredobservations, they're probably well suited to scientific or clinical pursuits. Perhaps their fascination is with plants and animals, which may lead to careers in botany, horticulture or zoology. CreativeExpressions may grow into professions as artists, writers or musicians. When I was a child, I was completely taken by the world of rocks. I collected them and marveled at the sparkle of crystals or the various reds in granites. I was always looking at the ground and appreciated various walking surfaces. It's weird, I know, I was a weird kid. But my interest in rocks, and these paved surfaces, combined with my love for writing lead to my career as a landscape architect. Now I simply love designing new patios, walkways and gardens for people. SWCNotebook
In summary, if you take the time to notice the subtle cues in your kid's response to the SpiderwickFilm and respond by providing newfound activities for them to pursue and enjoy, you can stimulate untold growth and learning into their college years.

Sorry if this is a double post, I'm not sure if my first one worked. Great lens on a really fun family movie. Even if my youngest thought it a bit scary. 5 * for you.
