Rooted Childhood offers ideas for connecting with young children through seasonal craft projects, storytelling, seasonal songs, simple recipes, and so much more.
Each Storybook Soirée features a classic fairytale and ideas to bring it to life through hands-on activities and a family celebration.
There is no better way to send off a favorite book or story than with a sweet soirée! A soirée, meaning an evening party held for a particular purpose, can be a wonderful family activity.
