I LOVE this kit idea. Anything that takes a great book and build an activity around it is wonderful in my eyes. I think my favorite book as a child was…omg there are so many it’s hard to choose. I actually really loved the original Strega Nona so I’ll go with that, but thanks for letting me know about the special Fall version of it!
Jillian recently posted..Cinderella Is Here! Who Is More Excited?
Strega Nona is such a good one I agree! The kits are really a ton of fun. I’m going to purchase a few for Christmas gifts this year. Good gifts for those kids that seem to have everything.
