We were excited to be a part of the Storybook Summer series over at Make and Takes. Mom bloggers from around the internet featured a favorite children’s book and a fun activity to go along with it. The result is a fabulous resource for Supermoms everywhere!
Whether you’re planning a playdate or just trying to entertain a pre-schooler at home — we’ve got you covered! Pick from this list of more than 20 well-loved titles, and be sure to pin it so you’ll have it handy later!

I like the creativity and art works.
Loved the book art activities. As a former teacher I plan to use these with grand kids next summer.
Some friends and I have started a blog based on this idea! You should check it out. bringbookstolife.com
Good list! I also loved making strawberry mice when we read “The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear.” https://pinterest.com/pin/278026976968941205
