Do you have any end-of-school rituals in your household? In mine, it was heading over to the library and signing up for the summer reading program, poring over the reading list and filling our totes with LOTS of great titles to curl up with.
Whether or not you’ve got a reading program going at your house, check out a few fun, crafty reads to keep your children busy all summer long. Check out a few of the titles I’ll be picking up to add to my craft library.
