Move and breathe through a childhood classic. The Napping House by Don and Audrey Wood has been a favorite story in my classes for years, and with a librarian’s suggestion, I brought it to life through yoga for the first time in 2012. Now accompanied by our beautiful illustrations, we can use this yoga sequence to promote a lifelong love of learning, reading, and healthy habits.

Each of the characters in the story is paired with a yoga pose, and each page adds another character in order. As the sequence builds, the poses come together in a beautiful flow. Do the poses as you read, or read and then do the poses—whatever feels the best to you.

This lesson plan is a perfect resource for teachers, parents or clinicians who want bring the story to life with movement. We’ve included a story script and a list of poses so children can learn the yoga sequence.

The Napping House Literacy Integration is a 14-page PDF download that you can view on your phone, tablet, computer or print to paper.
This download contains the following:

• The Napping House Lesson Plan designed for kids ages 4-10

• List of yoga poses, props and key themes that relate to the story

• Story script to read along with The Napping House

• Guided relaxation, meditation script, crafts, and group activities

• The Napping House yoga sequence poster, with nine (9) poses

Ever wonder how to encourage your littles to color in the lines, use colors that make sense, and cover all the white space? Well, this is it! They will be begging for their "stars" on all of their drawings and coloring. Many littles start school not being taught how to color, or even how to properly hold a crayon. It falls to us to teach them these basic skills. This product is a great encouragement to help them WANT to learn these skills.

Included in this product:

• 3 Star Coloring Poster
• 15 practice coloring pages
• Desk Tags
• Sticky Note Template

After teaching the 3 Star Coloring, you can have them practice on the Practice Coloring Pages. Print them a desk tag to help them remember to do 3 Star Coloring all the time. And once they learn the skills, you can use the sticky note template to print out sticky notes, with the 3 Star Coloring Rules so they can get their stars on a temporary piece of paper. This is great for those projects that you may not want to write on or put stickers on.
