One of our favorite children’s book series around here is “There Was An Old Lady.” There’s no real rhythm or reason to the stories BUT they ALWAYS get some good belly laughs out of my little one.

Recently we added There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Frog by Lucille Colandro to our collection and I just KNEW we had to do a kid craft in honor of it {cause that’s just how I roll around here!}

Spring is in the air, and everyone’s favorite old lady is ready to celebrate!

That zany old lady is back–and with a serious case of spring fever! This time she’s swallowing items to make the most of the season…with a beautiful garden!

With rhyming text and funny illustrations, this lively version of the classic song will appeal to young readers with every turn of the page–a wacky story for the first day of spring!
