Are your kids excited about camping? ⛺️
I recently shared a handful of camping books for kids on my blog. You can add this camping craft to pair with your favorite camping-themed book!
Every student can be an entirely different person in your presence! ❤️Love this!
I absolutely loved Cece Loves Science, so when I heard the sequel had been released, I couldn't wait to grab a copy!
Cece can’t wait to earn her camping pin as an Adventure Girl! She prepares for her trip by packing everything on the list, plus a few extras. After the girls put up their tent, they head out for a hike. When a storm rolls in, Cece puts her science skills to use to save the day.
