Let's read together! Between being sick and some staffing shortages, these two are home again this week. Luckily we have plenty of books and art supplies to satisfy curious minds. She likes the dandelions so we may have to venture into the yard later to make crowns. สษชษดแด ษชษด แดส สษชแด โข #childrensbookillustration #childrensillustration #childrensauthorillustrator #authorillustrator #indieauthorillustrator #picturebook #illustration #bookillustrations #witchcraftforkids #witchfulthinking #readtogether #littlereaders #littlewitches #grimoire #wildflowerguide #birdwatchingguide #guidebook #guidebookforkids #encouragereading #encourageoutdoorplay #readingishealing #ThePlaygroundCovensGuidebook #elysedeneigebooks https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd8Wv4eumSJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today is grey so I'm thinking back to this weekend when the kids and I did a flower hunt to find and identify all the flowers in ๐ป๐๐ ๐ท๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
๐ช๐๐๐๐'๐ ๐ฎ๐๐๐
๐๐๐๐๐ and ๐ท๐๐๐๐๐ ๐น๐๐๐ ๐จ๐๐๐. Success! They each were allowed to pick one for a bouquet and leave the rest for pollinators. They've had lots of fun this spring and summer using the guidebook to learn about nature, and Jasper is getting really good at reading all by himself, too.

Flower chains ~ go! We had fun practicing this weave. The kids liked wearing the crown, too. I need a little more practice! The stems on some of our dandelions were a little fat and hard to work with, but this was definitely a fun project. I'd love to see yours! Did this technique work for you? We cheated a couple times a just tied knots hahaha โข ~link to this book in my bio~ โข #childrensbook #picturebook #childrensauthorillustrator #authorillustrator #guidebook #howtoflowercrown #grimoire #witchcraftforkids #gardenwitchcraft #flowercrowns #dandelions #wildflowers #floweridentification #witchybooksforkids #flowerweaving #flowerchain #encourageoutdoorplay #encouragereading #indieauthorillustrator #funwithmama #playoutside #ThePlaygroundCovensGuidebook #elysedeneigebooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CPA_S7rFKSC/?utm_medium=tumblr

Really happy with how this spread came out.

Just a couple of dudes, reading about birds and wildflowers, bonding and getting ready for spring. ๐ป๐๐ ๐ท๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐

๐๐๐๐๐ has an autumnal feel, but it's great for spring and summer! A lot of the birds featured are showings up now and the flowers will start blooming soon and stay through summer.

Managed to make my own version of Agnes's bouquet! The orange hawkweed in my yard is just about past and the chicory is sparse this year, but I found one of each. How bright and colorful is this!
