Summer Reading Fun
Encourage your children to get excited about books and reading
this summer by creating imaginative and comfortable reading spaces inside
and outside. Create a fun and cozy place for your children to read with
you or on their own.
Beach Reading: Use a child-sized plastic swimming pool, put pillows
inside that could be colors you would see in the lakes or ocean or use some
nautical pillows in the shape of seashells or fish. If your pool is
inside, decorate the walls surrounding the pool with beach pictures that
you draw together or palm tree leaves you cut from green construction
paper. If your pool is outside, set it under big shady "palm"
tree.
Campsite Reading: Set up a small tent if you have one
or use sheets draped over furniture. Put a sleeping bag inside your
tent. You might also want to put in a lawn chair if you're having a group
story time! Keep toasty warm with an imaginary campfire made from a circle
of rocks (you could use blocks instead) and some crumpled red and orange
tissue paper. Put a cooler in your tent with some yummy snacks inside!
