Acorns and Stew, Too by Ruth Orbach
We picked up this book because of the beautiful black-and-white illustrations with bursts of neon. And after reading it, we loved it even more. Lenore, a clever little girl with a really big heart, is doing whatever she can to keep the ducks she loves from flying away for the winter. Her resourcefulness pays off – and kids learn that creative ideas and hard work can make a difference. First published 25 years ago, we're charmed by this timeless story of friendship.
From anatomical curiosities, to fall crafts, to imaginative new toys, here are a few of our favorite pins this week.
We're teaching anatomy with this heartfelt felt heart and a peek inside a Lego guy.
How cute are these little pine cone gnomes?
What we're making with leaves.
The Happy Together doll family by Suzy Ultman for Land of Nod. They live in this charming little cottage that you can decorate.
Can't. Stop. Halloween. Pinning. So we'll just go where the spirit takes us, and share our final favorites for the spookiest season.
If your kids like craft projects as much as ours do, try these pretty pasta skeletons.
Cute and creepy gingerbread skeletons.
Creative costumes: a mouse, a dancing cloud, popcorn, and a robot. Plus two little chicks and a little, little old lady.
Costumes for advanced cardboard crafters only. (Not it. But we'll ooh and ahh anyway.) These cardboard creations. And this DIY T-Rex.
Our own (super-easy) DIY costumes from the Wee Workshop. Last chance to Pin an image of them to enter to win a set of Boo Crew Tattlys. And post a pic of your costume creation on our Facebook page for a chance to win a free Wee art print.
Are you ready for Halloween? This week, we're rounding up a few of our favorite pins to conjure ghosts, goblins and giggles.
Curling up with our favorite not-too-spooky reads is our favorite way to get into the Halloween spirit.
Creepy crafts are part of the fun. Our kids are making cards for friends and grandparents with these DIY skull potato stamps. And nothing against jack o' lanterns, but this year we're decorating pumpkins without the mess of carving–starting with this mummy and these spider webs.
Haunting the house means giant spider webs. Or these, made from cheesecloth.
Homemade treats are the best kind. Try these frozen boo-nana pops or vampire-bite cupcakes, with milk. And for a surprise spooky breakfast, how adorable are these ghostly fried eggs?
Bring on the pumpkin patches, costume parades and sugar highs. We love this time of year. Our favorite way to get in the Halloween spirit is curling up with these not-too-spooky reads.
For World Space Week, we're finding inspiration in the moon, stars, and alien invasions.
A favorite book about a sweet little boy who wants to catch a star.
For our living room, an alien invasion terrarium that'll get a second look (and make our kids giggle).
Possibly our all-time favorite Halloween costume.
A printable from the Wee Workshop starring Grace from outer space.
An astronaut in bed.
How to Catch a Star by Oliver Jeffers
To celebrate World Space Week, we're reading a sweet book about a boy who loves stars. He decides he wants to catch one, which turns out to be an impossible task (even with his paper rocket ship), and leads to a series of disappointments. In the end, the boy is on the beach when he comes across a sea star, and it feels like magic. It's a bedtime book at our house – teaching that while sometimes things don't turn out like you planned, they can be pretty awesome anyway.
