Bookstore
Put on your reading glasses and take your kiddos to a nearby bookstore (preferably one with a childrens section and a comfy place to sit). Barnes and Noble and Borders are our favorites. Walk around with your children and ask them what kind of things they’d like to read about today. Ask what they’re favorite kinds of books are. Have each child pick out a few books, then find a comfortable spot and hold your own little story time. (Often times there will be a play area with some toys set up for the kids to play with as well.)
If you’re willing to spend some money, you can find great childrens books on the SALE rack for less than 5 dollars. Let them choose one to add to their very own library. They'll treasure it.
