So, I would have loved these early spring writing prompts. I devoured books and collected words and started stories often. Growing Kids Who Love Reading and Writing From the moment I was old enough to hold a crayon, I was always building stories. I didn’t necessarily need the writing prompts, or any prompts but if my teacher or my Mom had given me a pretty project sheet like this I would have been all over it. This spring I have a lot of fun free printable worksheets for you to share with your kids. Many of you are working from home remotely and kids might be home more still, so I know some of you are hunting down extra worksheets and activities to help keep them learning and busy. These are very open kid’s activity pages to encourage maximum creativity. How To Use These Writing Prompts The intention is that your child or student looks at the image on each sheet and is prompted to create a story, a paragraph or two. Post may contain affiliate links.

More Printables Just a Few Tools to Make the Task Go Easier If you have a home study station or work space set up, then you can probably use a few of these or put them on your to buy list. A heavy duty electronic pencil sharpener. Good pencil crayons. Quality pencils. This Ticonderoga brand is one that my daughter really likes. They don’t break if you apply too much pressure as she often does.

Remember when you were a kid? Remember how badly you wanted fairies to be real? The thought of fluttering wings and pixie dust was intoxicating with the possibility of something magical just out of sight. Well, now fairy tales are almost real thanks to The Irish Fairy Door Company. They bring the magic of fairies right into your home.   Fairy Tales Come Alive with The Irish Fairy Door Company The Irish Fairy Door Company helps fairies relocate into homes and gardens all over the world with their Irish fairy doors. Have you ever made an outdoor fairy garden? You could potentially use this there too if you wanted. They make memorable family moments with the magic of imagination and adorable wooden doors. When my kids were small we had a Santa chimney key and a story that went with that and it was a treasured tradition each year. I kind of see the fairy doors like that. Young children will love the concept of writing to their fairy each night. Each door contains a “special magic” so that a fairy can live comfortably in their new human home. This sounds adorable right? I know! It really is cute. Less creepy than the Elf guy. We received a fairy door and some adorable fairy clothing. The Irish Fairy Door Company is all about imagination, creativity, and the belief that something magically wonderful is out there. The company offers doors, accessories, books, plush toys, and wall decals. AND they have a super cute collection of web pages on their site with fairy stories, fairy FAQ’s, fairy names, and fairy facts. They’re all fairy all the time. When you receive your fairy door, the fairy tales begin to become a reality in the home. Using the secret code, your child can register at the website for fairy stories and activities. You’ll even get an email with an Official Fairy Lease Agreement. Super cute and really a fun opportunity to indulge in make believe. The Fairy Welcome Guide and the Family/ Fairy Lease Agreement are actually my favourite parts of this toy. Even my teen laughed out loud at this: “If pets live within the home, please ensure that they do not tinkle against the door. Having a wee covered door can cause your fairy to get quite upset.” The Heart of Fairy Tales in Your Home My kids tested out the fairy door from The Irish Fairy Door Company. It’s a sweet concept that will make a believer out of any child. This would be a sweet gift for a child under the age of ten this season. If you want to believe, too check out The Irish Fairy Door Company and see how they make fairy tales come to life in your home. I will warn you be careful with the laundry line with clothing if you get it. It’s fragile. The Irish Fairy door starter set is $39.99. We received a fairy door and some other items in order to write this post. We also have one Fairy Door set to gift to a reader. Follow the instructions to win. Entry-Form
