Legos are always so excellent! We have just started doing them in our own house. I prefer to follow instructions and my partner loves the bin of randomness. His creative side shines! Love this! And hope I get to puzzle again someday!
Love this, I worked in early childhood for 7 years before having my 4 kids and these are all the same tips I share. We loved the Elephant and Piggie books for early reading too. The Hi Jack series is also really great and similar vibe.
That Elephant and Piggie book is so good-Snake has a great sense of humor about himself.
We just read Construction, one of the companions to Demolition. We are deep in the construction phase and I am embracing it while also making sure one of the three books we read is something not construction, like Franklin or Frog and Toad or Baby Goes to Market.
I am firmly do NOT pay your children to read/get good grades/get out of bed in the morning. When has this ever actually been successful in the long term?
We laugh and laugh about snake, it’s a favorite. Construction is also so great! I always love to throw a curveball in with whatever the kids are obsessed with. At bedtime we used to do each kid and one parent picks, which was a good way to keep at least one different title in rotation!
Repetition really is your friend.. even if you--the adult--hate it sometimes 😂
Right now (more like, still) we're on an Everywhere Babies kick and holy crap I am so over it but my kid is now able to "read" the book and I can't get away with skipping over the words anymore 😬
Everywhere Babies is sooooo cute but I can totally understand the “never again please” vibe. Haha. Isn’t it hilarious when they start correcting you from memory?! Caught!
My littlest pulled Room on the Broom out last night and that one is committed to memory - I don’t even have to look at the page 😂
I had better luck with young kids+legos rather than puzzles. Someday, you’ll puzzle again!!

Ooo! I haven’t come across Hi Jack yet but looking it up I’m not surprised. Anything by Mac Barnett always gets a gold star in our house!
Same! As well as Greg Pizzoli! 🙌
