Unleash imagination and nurture curiosity during Children’s Book Week! Dive into whimsical tales that both enlighten and entertain.
Mark your calendars for the magical beginning of Children's Book Week starting from May 2! Going strong since 1919, this is the longest-running national literacy initiative in the country. Devoted to instilling a lifelong love of reading in children, the week encourages young minds to journey into the enchanting world of literature. The excitement of turning a page, the joy of discovering new characters, and the limitless adventure afforded by beautifully-illustrated stories is what makes this week so special. Champions of the written word, let's celebrate this fantastic week by diving into whimsical tales that both enlighten and entertain!
Encourage your child to pay homage to their favorite book character by dressing up. It could be Harry Potter, Matilda, Sherlock Holmes or anyone else who is close to their heart.
Organize a picnic featuring foods from your child’s favorite books. Think Turkish Delight from The Chronicles of Narnia, Green Eggs and Ham from Dr. Seuss, or even the Gruffalo crumble.
Get creative with craft materials and make items pulled straight out of your child’s favorite book. This might be a paper witch’s house, a lion face mask, or a cardboard rocket ship!
Bedtime stories become even more magical when done under the stars. Set up a blanket in your garden, turn on some fairy lights, and let the enchantment of the words take over.
Encourage your children to put on a performance of their favorite book for the family. They can dress up as characters, rehearse lines, and even make props for added fun!
Children's Book Week emphasizes the importance of creativity and imagination in child's development, encouraging them to explore different worlds, characters, and situations through the engaging stories.
This special week provides a great opportunity to instill a lifelong love of reading within children. By creating exciting activities around books, kids will associate reading with fun, learning to cherish this valuable skill.
Countless activities during Children’s Book Week such as storytelling nights, dress-up days or book-themed crafts allow families to spend quality time together. This shared experience strengthens bonds and creates memories to last a lifetime.
