Busy Day...Little Story Book


Busy days call for busy books.


I loved running with windmills or whirly gigs when I was little.


White picket fences and paint overalls.


Picture stories...I loved these too.


A money's worth of words for sure.


We still play this game with my kids for hours.


Cutest hopping kids I have ever seen.


Lost and Found


A mother's favorite...indoor games.  How many times have I told my boys to roll the ball.  "Don't throw the ball in the house!"


Paper chains, cardboard boats, broomstick horses and tightrope lines.  Simple, inexpensive, no batteries need and  you still have happy kids.  Once again I am reminded how wonderfully easy things used to be and how we often over complicate it. 


Join me again for another week of Lil' Vintage Story Books at Corey's.

Oh, I love picture stories! What a fun little book and yes, you are right, we make play so complicated now (assembly required, batteries not included) while all of those things are just as entertaining to a child now as they were then.

Okay. The paper chains were the clincher! So adorable!

I've wanted to join this party but my laptop does not communicate with my scanner!

So many delightful graphics. I agree with Holly...the paper chain page is absolutely charming.
