Each issue of Playful Picks includes links to projects and articles, and sometimes a peek at what we’re currently reading or creative products we love. I’ll also be linking to one or two past posts at Let’s Explore – after 4+ years of blogging, the archives are getting deep around here!
Happy playing!

What We’re Reading
Here is a quick peek at the books on our nightstands right now:
Me: The Shoemaker’s Wife by Adriana Trigiani (loving it so far) and Project-Based Homeschooling by Lori Pickert (amazing, whether you homeschool or not)
Natalie (age 10): Twice Upon a Time by James Riley (it’s been declared even better than the first book, Half Upon a Time) and The Moffats by Eleanor Estes (a classic for a reason!)
Delaney (age 8): Waiting for the Magic by Patricia MacLachlan (this one is funny, sensitive, and just delightful) and Horse Diaries #5: Golden Sun by Whitney Sanderson (as Delaney says, books about horses are awesome!)
What books are in your kids’ hands right now?
