Hi y'all!
Happy Friday everyone... and welcome to all our new subscribers! Fall is officially underway around here - back to school routine is in full swing, the mornings are a little brisker, pumpkin-flavored everything is everywhere, and today, we even picked up some pumpkins! You can keep up with all our Fall posts here all season long!
New and Noteworthy
My Art History for Preschool series continued this week! Thank you all for loving it as much as we do - and following along with each post in the series. This week, we moved from Impressionists to Expressionists, with Elmer Meets Kandinsky. You can download the free, printable Elmer template here. All the posts to date can be found on the series landing page, as well as on our Art for Kids board on Pinterest, along with countless others we have found from around the web! What artist or famous work of art would you love to see us take on next?
Who's reading The Nightingale with us this month? Join us by reading along and participating in our online discussion on Facebook - 9/28 at 9PM ET. Learn more about the book, the author and all the details for Mom's Book Nook in our monthly post. All discussion participants can enter for a chance to win a $10 gift card to buy next month's book!
Last week was the first week of our newest endeavor - It's Friday, We're In Love! Eight co-hosts bring you weekly, round-ups featuring posts we LOVE on themes you'll LOVE too! The first round-up, featuring 50+ Apple Activities, Crafts and Recipes, was published by Laura at Sunny Day Family last week. This week, I published 50+ Autumn Leaf Activities, Crafts and Decor! Stay tuned for next week's Owl Round-up!
We are still gathering posts to feature on our other great Fall topics (pumpkins, Fall decor and more!) - and will be releasing new holiday themes for linking up soon! You can find all the themes on the series landing page.
Getting to Know You...
Each week, you get a little glimpse into my life... I'd love to get know all of you better too! Drop me a line anytime just by replying to this email - tell me what about Playground Parkbench you are loving and wish we did more of, what you could live without, and why you follow us. Are you a parent? A preschool teacher? A grandparent? How old are your kids? And invite your friends to join us on the Playground Parkbench too!
Monday Activity Round Up...
Instagram Activity Hop - this Fall we will be doing a micro-blog hop each week on Instagram with 12 kid bloggers. What does that mean? It means you can quickly flip through 12 images to get inspired with great ideas for kids' activities in 2 minutes! Follow us @PGPBMeghan or #KBIGroundup to see all the posts every Monday at 11AM ET. Next week will feature Leaves!
This Week's Special Offer...
How many of you have Back to School photos or great summer vacation shots you'd love up on your walls? This week's special offer is 45% off from Canvas on Demand (expires 9/19 at 1AM ET). We have ordered from them multiple times, and they always come out beautifully!
