Welcome!

This blog is here for you to find fun learning activities to do with your children. We share great ideas we find and love on the Internet, as well as ideas we come up with on our own! We also like to share resources we find helpful.

To find ideas for your child, click on the age range blog label or on the theme/topic you are looking for (on the left side of the page). In each post, we try to list optimal age ranges for the activity, but you must judge for yourself if it is appropriate for your child.

Fire(man, fighter, truck) Books

As Raegan mentioned, October is National Fire Prevention month. If you have a son, you likely haven't ever needed special month to pay attention to anything firetruck related. But in honor of the month, I thought I would share some of our favorite "fire" books.

At the Firehouse by Anne Rockwell

This is a fun book about visiting the local fire station

Firefighters A to Z by Chris L. Demarest

This book focuses on firefighters. It also shows kids that a firefighters job has an element of danger without scaring children. It also has the bonus of being an A to Z book. Very well done.

Clifford The Firehouse Dog by Norman Birdwell

Kaitlyn loves Clifford, but doesn't have an overly strong interest in firetrucks. So a book like this is great because it combines the fire theme with a favorite character.

Curious George by H.A. Rey

The original. It has a firefighting sequence in it. There are also Curious George firefighting books if you want one just about firefighting.

Big Frank's Fire Truck by Leslie McGuire
