Books and Giggles is full of screen-free, educational and
fun activities for kids. Sometimes you also find parenting insights and tips. Today we're recapping the top five non-seasonal posts
of the year, all in one place.
The most popular post by far was 10 Instant Fun Car Trip Activities Your Kids Will Love These are
ideas that you don’t need any prep for. If the kids are bored or acting up
while you’re driving around town, you can distract them with one of these
games. They’re also good to have in mind on longer road trips.
Another reader favorite was an idea that can help you solve
power struggles over clothes. Make a simple weather doll to show your toddler
or young preschooler what clothing is appropriate for the weather that day. The
post has instructions and a printable template.
The top parenting post on Books and Giggles was a heartfelt one. In The Best Secret Reason to be a Stay-at-Home Mom I wrote
about why I chose to leave my profession and be a stay-at-home mom. It resonated with a lot of readers.
Perhaps surprisingly, the top educational activity of
the year was ABC Cards: Montessori Inspired Multisensory Learning. I don’t write a lot of Montessori content, but
my kids all attended Montessori preschool. This idea was a solution to Liam's dislike of sandpaper letters.
