I love how my girls are eager to learn and instantly dig into books I bring home….especially those dealing with science! This week my 11 year old has been going around the house with jars of science she has created, my 8 year old has a thing for cooking so now she is learning to bake….tiny style…and she LOVES it! Reading is such a big part of our lives and I love introducing them to books that teach them something new and ones that get them enjoying new activities that they just read about. These have all been enjoyed by us over and over again but the key is finding the a book that sparks an interest in your child!
