Popsicle Stick School Books - Kid Craft Idea For There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Books

There Was An Old Lady Book Craft For Kids

Hi my crafty readers! In honor of the back-to-school season, I recently came up with a kid friendly craft that goes along PERFECTLY with the book “There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Book” by Lucille Colandro. This time I’m calling it Popsicle Stick Books and I hope you are inspired to repeat them today!

“There was an old lady who’s ready for school!

That lovely old lady has returned just in time for the first day of school. Now she’s swallowing items to make the very best of her first day back. And just in time for the bus…

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 fun story for the first day of school!”

So what are you waiting for? Create some excitement for the first day of school by pulling out those simple craft supplies and crafting these Wood Craft Stick Books up with your child today!

Happy crafting {and reading} my friends!!! Don’t forget to share pictures of your pretend books made from popsicle sticks, with us on our Facebook page to admire! #gluedtomycrafts
