Construction Site Gets a Fright

Check out this INCREDIBLE, SUPER-CREATIVE sensory activity setup from @mommassori123 โ€” with a touch of inspiration from โ€œConstruction Site Gets A Fright!โ€
๐Ÿšง Construction Site on Halloween Night

๐ŸŽƒ I love open ended play where Brady can take in the setup Iโ€™ve created & go wherever his imagination takes him. Our @magnatiles are one of our favorite open ended toys because they have so many possibilities.

๐Ÿ‘ป I used some of our favorite small shop open ended resources with our @magnatiles builder set & some dollar tree accessories. Resources used are: @button_and_bug magnetic chalkboard insert & clear acrylic insert, resin pumpkins from @chloe_duffy3 , construction blocks from @applewoodtoys & our Halloween tinkers, forest playscape & resin waterfall from @the.stemsory.experience (MOMMAS15 to save) to recreate one of his favorite Halloween books. It turned into him โ€œsaving Halloweenโ€ by using the cranes & bricks to create a โ€œghost trapper.โ€ Then the pumpkins came to life & he had to trap them too!

๐Ÿ’  You can use jillian15 to save on your own @magnatiles & see what your little comes up with!

Thank You Rachel Loves Books!

Is there a book youโ€™ve read to your kids (or your parents read to you) over and over again?โฃ
โฃ
Right now, itโ€™s Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site (or its sequels). Every day. Multiple times a day. And if I dare read my 22 month old anything else, he makes truck noises until I pick up the correct book again.โฃ
โฃ
Which means I was beyond thrilled to receive the newest one, Construction Site: Farming Strong All Year Long by @sherririnker and @agfordart (thank you #gifted @tlcbooktours and @chroniclekidsbooks ).โฃ
โฃ
Just like the previous books, this one has beautiful, colorful pictures and fantastic rhymes to tell the story. And if youโ€™ve read a story out loud ten times in a row, you know how important it is to have one you enjoy reading. Plus, Farming Strong has all the construction vehicles we know and love AND tractors. โฃ

Collect Them All!

Collect all the books in the Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site series, including the upcoming release Construction Site: Farming Strong, All Year Long ๐ŸŒพ

AND: If your pre-order now from your favorite book retailer, youโ€™ll receive a Little Machine Wheel Loader toy from @caterpillarinc. Check out Goodnightconstructionsite.com

Prayers please

This wagon-wheel shaped community is Rotonda West, FL, where my dad lives. It took a direct hit from Ian.

Dad and Kathy evacuated, but many of his dear neighbors did not.

Still waiting to hear about friends there, and about the condition of his home.

Prayers, please.

Brightwish Books - Thanks!!

Thank you SO MUCH to Amy at @brightwishbooks for this lovely review and FAB photos:

Construction Site Gets a Fright! has all the fun and spookiness you could want ๐ŸŽƒ The story has the trucks you love, and a very relatable message that sometimes we all may get a little scared (even if there really is nothing to be scared of). This book has the added bonus of flaps, so the girls loved seeing what was behind each one!

@sherririnker is always the best at rhymes and make this a really fun read aloud. @agfordart illustrations are just the perfect amount of spooky and cute.
