Happy Monday Friends!!
 
Well, it is the warmest day out of the week here in Missouri today.  It is going to snow 6-10 inches here tomorrow so I have been to the store and the mailbox and hope I am ready for the snow.  I do like snow just don't  like driving in it. I am going to start posting quotes and pictures of quotes on the days I don't review books for you to read to your children.  I thought you might enjoy them.  I really would love to hear from all of you about them or any of the posts I put on my blog.  So please post a comment.  I look forward to hearing from you.
 
Today I am going to post about a children's magazine that I received accidentally in my mail today.  I thought it was really cute and if you have a young child or grandchild they would really enjoy this magazine either coming to your house or your local library. The name of the magazine is High Five and it is put out by Highlights.
 
It has really cute stories for children pre-school age and early childhood.  It also contains some really cute short poems that children will enjoy.  I really like the puzzles which include Hidden Pictures where the children have to find the things in the picture. Also included were several activities.  One was a Tadpole Beanbag game where you make the beanbags out of rice and plastic bags and use paper plates as the targets or (lily pads).  Just put the rice in the plastic bag and then wrap it in green tissue paper, make some eyes, and put some rubber bands around it and you have your frog.  You could color or paint the paper plates green for lily pads and put numbers on them for a score for older children. Children love beanbags.  The magazine for March also has a matching game that you can punch out for the children and they can match the pictures.  I would check it out online or at the library.  Young children would love it.
 
 
 
Hope the children enjoy this magazine. I am sure they will.  It has many skill building exercises in it.  See you tomorrow with some good quotes.  Have a great day!!!
