Book #3: Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
We made an ABC practice book for you to do with your kiddo to go along with “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom” {or just for fun}.

  2. Fantastic post. I would have been all over these ideas when the kids were little. I'm going to share your link on my blog in the morning in Blog Linkage. I'm also going to start visiting this new blog regularly.

    Thanks!
