Earth Day is the perfect time to teach kids about the planet and all of the amazing plants and creatures living on it. So I am thrilled to share some fascinating new children’s books about nature. They also celebrate the seasons, and the things that we can do to protect our planet and keep us connected to Earth.
Evergreen trees are so beautiful and regal. Especially when they are standing strong against the snowy winter weather. Today we are sharing a book that explores the legend behind why evergreen trees get to keep their leaves, and pairing it with some fun winter crafts for kids!
We live in an area that gets a ton of snow, so we love reading books about snowmen, snow days, and playing in the snow. So I’m excited to share this list of new snow books for kids that feature all of the fun that the snowy weather can bring.

It’s time to head back to school, which means school supply shopping! I love shopping for school supplies. It probably has something to do with why I started studying education in the first place.

Have you ever found sea glass on the beach? Have you thought about how it got there? Where did it come from? How old is it? There are so many mysteries hiding in that small piece of glass.

Summer time is here, which means lots of fun in the sun and the water! Before you head out to the pool though, it is important that you go over some of the rules. Since my daughter is still young, we are spending a lot of time talking about pool safety this year. So I was thrilled when we were given the opportunity to check out this book that explores pool safety while telling a fun story about a pet dragon! We also paired it with summer activities for kids that review sun safety and pool safety, and also encourage bubbly fun.
Bees are probably one of the first bugs that kids recognize. With their large size and loud buzzing, they are kind of hard to miss. The fear of being stung is also present from a very young age, even if you have never been stung by anything. Because of this, bees are often high on the list of childhood fears. The sad part is that bees are struggling for survival, and the loss of their population will mean devastating things to our lives and our environment. So I decided to gather a list of children’s books about bees to teach kids about the importance of bees and the work that they do. Hopefully with a little education, we can change some minds about bees and save them!

Luckily, we had the opportunity to check out this fun new book from Sleeping Bear Press about creating the perfect garden – even if it isn’t the exact garden you planned. We also paired it with fun gardening activities for kids, so get ready to get your hands dirty!
