Why Add A Craft Or Activity To A Book
When kids are young we are constantly encouraging them to read a book.
The more books kids read, the better readers they become allowing them to learn more in school.
While reading is important, I also want to share why I believe that adding a fun activity with a book is also important.
Especially if kids are young and are starting to read. Since most of the time, they don’t want to do it.
My youngest daughter was like this when she was young.
She loved books, but when she came to an elementary age where she had to sit and read a book she didn’t want to do it.
She wanted to play and do something “fun”. That’s when I decided that by adding a craft or activity after she read excited her to want to read more.
Encouraging her and a promise of something “fun” or hands-on after she was done with her reading.
Not only does adding a craft or activity inspired by a book inspires kids to use their imagination more, but it also helps strengthen other developmental skills.
Ideas You Can Do After Reading Dr. Seuss’s Books
- Writing, coloring, drawing
- Fine-motor skills
- Gross-motor skills if the activity is to move
- Math
- Reading
- Cooking
- Play
- Exploring imagination
- Independence
- Decision making
These are just some of the reasons adding an activity or craft to interact with a book can become so important.
Especially during Dr. Seuss’s reading week celebration!
