This week the Highlight of my Week is…. Playing by the Book

Playing by the Book is run by Zoe, ably assisted by her two daughters. The blog is dedicated to books (did you guess?) and how they are such a wonderful springboard for all sorts of crafts, activities and musical fun. Whether your children love dens, dinosaurs or dressing up Playing by the Book has ideas to fit the bill.

Even more exciting Zoe has just launched an International Postcard Swap for Families where children all over the globe can get writing and receiving cards to find out about other countries. We’re excited to be taking part and if you’d like to join in then pop over to Playing by the Book before Friday April 30th 2010 to sign up.

To inaugurate the NurtureStore Highlight of My Week, I’d like to tell you about the Frugal Family Fun Blog: a blog which focuses on things you can do with your children for very little cost but with lots of fun. The blog is run by Valerie and records the crafts and activities she does with her two lovely daughters, along with other money saving ideas.  Her 12 Ways to Boost Happiness (for Free) gives a great round up of ideas you could try. And her idea for Story Stones is one my girls love – in fact we’ve been working on our own version of it this weekend.

So I hope you’ll pop over to see the Frugal Family Fun Blog and find some great ideas to inspire you too. Tell Valerie I sent you!
