Eric Carle Collection

Mrs. Daniels, a fellow blogger, told me last week that Kohl's has four Eric Carle books (The Groupchy Ladybug, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The Mixed Up Chameleon, and The Foolish Tortoise) along with the matching animals right now for $5 each.  I picked up a set for my classroom and added some to Christian's collection-they are nice hardback copies so they're on the top shelf!  100% of the proceeds benefit kids!

Eric Carle Birthday Bash!

My oldest son, Christian, is turning 3 next month (I can't believe-seems like he was just born)!  I'm working on a birthday bash...Eric Carle style!  His favorite 3 things are food/eating, reading/books, and sports.  

I figure that I'll focus on the reading and books while he's young since he has plenty of time for sports later on!  I picked up these really cute party supplies from Target.  I'm also thinking about having an Eric Carle celebration at school (in May) when we finish our author study!  

stickers and table cloth

Party invitations and plates...

napkins and a book (found these at Mardel recently 2 for $5...might be something extra to add to the gift bags.  Each book has seeds inside so you can grow your own flowers)!
