I wanted to share some of the awesome resources I found online to really make Big Red Barn into a Unit Study for your little one.

Here are 10 of my favorite ideas from my Literaure Ideas pinterest board:

Big Red Barn Tutorial
Lil’ Red was obsessed with this book so much that we were reading it 2 or 3 times a day! I decided we needed a Big Red Barn that he could play with. I had been saving Huggies wipes containers and happen to have a red one! I looked at the book cover as my guide and got to crafting a homemade Big Rad Barn!

Here’s a quick tutorial on how to make a Big Red Barn:

TOT SCHOOL: Tot Trays (the basics)

By 5 Comments

What are Tot Trays?

Where Do You Find them?

10 different tot trays

I heard about Tot trays from Counting Coconuts and 1plus1plus1equals1 when Lil’ Red was still too young to use them or need them. (Boy, do we need them now! He is a smart little whipper-snapper.) We have been using them off and on.
