So I created a day chart, I included pictures of things that happen during the week like walking to preschool, bath time, eating meals, playing outside. Love the Little Hoot owl book it’s just one of the Fabulous Owl Books for Preschoolers on our list go and check out the other recommendations for even more inspiration. Although J is fairly good at going to sleep (unless he has a nap during the day which is rare) he does get frustrated when he’s not aware what is going on. While we were reading the book I thought it would give us the perfect opportunity to talk about our days and routines. J declared that we had to use glitter to make the owls extra special so we used a tub of it!

We then had a lot of fun covering our owls in glue first for the eyes to stick on with and then to complete our final part of the owls. We then created our owl eyes – using white card we cut out an eye shape and then J insisted that we use black sticky dots for pupils and placed them on each of the owl eyes. We started off working out the best way to put the owls and J decided that it would be easiest for them to rest on their flat bottoms instead of the points. Ours are very simple owls – we did attempt to add wings to the owls but little fingers pulled them off before they had a chance to dry. We have chosen Little Hoot as our book as J and T both like owls (with no experience of the author we literally choose the book based on the character on the front cover) and have had a wonderful time creating Owls and talking about routines in our day.įirst we set about creating Little Hoot, Mama Hoot and Papa Hoot, J has been on a Nature Walk recently and picked up a few pine cones so decided that we needed to create some pine cone owls. This is another new author to me and there is a wonderful selection of books to choose from – check out the cohosts at the bottom of the post to see what other books people have had fun with. It’s time again for the Virtual Book Club for Kids – and this month we are reading books by Amy Krouse Rosenthal.
