This 4th of July, end the battle for independence in your house, and show your child just how much freedom she can enjoy.

Encourage your child to explore her favorite fairy tale, and learn about characters, plot, setting and story sequence as she draws her own pictures.

Inspire a love for the written word by creating an illustrated nature poetry book with your kids.

Help your child compose an alphabet poem about the season, and have them practice letters while awakening their creative writing skills, too!
