The Boy Who Cried Wolf - FREEBIE, Giveaway, Poppins Book Nook!!

By -
I have so many treats for you today!!  

First of all, as part of Poppins Book Nook Book Club, we read the classic fairy tale fable The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

It was so much fun that I wanted my new early reader to be able to read it independently and easily.  This is good for building her reading confidence.  So, I re-told the story as an easy reader, and I am sharing it with you as a FREEBIE!!  I hope you have a young friend who will enjoy it!  Click HERE to get your {FREE} copy!  


Secondly, here is The Boy Who Cried Wolf book that we enjoyed.  I think the pictures are absolutely fantastic!   After you read it, try acting it out.  It is a simple, repetitive story that our kids loved dramatizing!  Our little "shepherd" perfectly mimicked the boy in the story!  You can see the book on Amazon here: (affiliate link):



Do you have any fairy-tale activities you'd like to share?  Join the party here:



And finally, beginning this month, the Poppins Book Nook group is offering readers a chance to win one new storybook related to the theme for the month!  This month, one lucky reader will get a copy of A First Book of Fairy Tales!  The winner must reside within the United States--just use the handy Rafflecopter form below to enter!


Happy Educating, Carla!


I may share at any of these parties!

I will have to print out the early reader for my girls. They love fairy tales, and it is even better if they can read it themselves!

Science Experiment: Elephant Toothpaste

By -

Update: "Elephant toothpaste" is a science experiment that I used to do with my high school students.  It is a strong multi-sensory demonstration that goes great with a lot of chemistry concepts. It is also very popular with preschoolers and homeschoolers!  The internet loves it too! It has now been read by more than 3.9 million people! This was the post that started the trend on science activity sites across the internet and "irl!"  Thank you for being here...I hope you enjoy it as well!  💕  This exciting science experiment works great in a discussion on reactions, as a demonstration, or as an actual experiment. We've also done seasonal twists with "elephant toothpaste" like making it in a pumpkin and using it for " reindeer toothpaste !" To use it as a science project, perform it once with your child, then ask your child what might happen if you changed the amounts or left out an ingredient.  Any time you experiment...

This sensory lesson includes a kindness activity for kids that is short and sweet,  and makes teaching kindness a beautiful thing! Learning to use kind words with our friends is one friendship lesson that I think we can never cover enough...kids always need reminding (sometimes adults do too)!  You will need these simple supplies for the kindness activity: cotton balls, course sandpaper, cup, Should I Share My Ice-Cream by Mo Willems Directly teaching good friendship skills, like using kind words, serves two purposes: 1- You can refer to the lesson when someone forgets or needs reminding, and 2- These skills are not intuitive for all preschoolers. This is a perfect age to bring empathy and kindness to their attention and help them cultivate these skills! You can use this lesson plan exactly as I did it with our kiddos, or adapt it to fit your group! 1- Read  Should I Share My Ice-Cream  by Mo Willems.   {Image below is an Amazon Affi...

Do you know what color giraffe skin is? Today we're using a capillary action science experiment to make our own giraffe skins in this fun giraffe science experiment project! (Read on...I'll tell you the color in a moment! AND I have a few more fun giraffe facts at the end! Anyway, go on and make a guess before you see the answer!) Fun Spot  Giraffe  Fact:  There are four different giraffe species:  the Masai Giraffe, the Rothschild Giraffe, the Somali Giraffe, and the Nigerian Giraffe.  Each has its own unique spot pattern.  Even more unique, every single individual giraffe has a different spot design.  Just like fingerprints on people and stripes on a zebra, spots on a giraffe are unique in every individual! Giraffe skin is mostly grey. (Were you right?) It's also really tough and thick.  The coat is a shade of tan with brown spots or patches.  Male giraffes actually get darker as they get older! To make our "giraffe ...
