Mini coloring booklets: we love them! Mini reading books, mini notepads, and especially mini coloring books are all favorites here at the Hill House! I published a set of fruit coloring pages earlier this year, and this is the promised set of vegetable coloring pages. When we get to our fruit and vegetable unit, these …
My girls are in love with all kinds of mini-books: mini-coloring pages, mini-reading books, mini-math fact practice books. Something about the smaller size makes it more appealing for them!
