Would your child like to get a book and activity in the mail? (between the ages of 0-10)
Are you a blogger who likes activities that are fun AND educational?
YES!!!!!
Then this summer 2014 LOVE BOOK EXCHANGE may be for you!
This is the Educators’ Spin On It’s 4th Love Book Exchange and it is going to be bigger and better than ever!!!!!
So what is a LOVE BOOK Exchange?
Participants select one book and one amazing, open ended activity to go along with it, staying under $20. YES, I wrote ONE. Just one, so make it a good one. They take a picture of the book and activity, write WHY they chose it and e-mail it to us (theeducatorsspinonit at gmail.com) Don’t worry, we won’t spoil the surprise and post about it too soon! They they send the book and activity to the family they were matched with and wait! (Hopefully it’s not too long!) Soon, a book and activity kit will arrive for them. They get to OPEN AND ENJOY!!!! Shortly afterwards, a blog post goes up on the participants own blog sharing about the cool book and activity they got. It’s like an online thank you!

Spring 2012 Participants
As a past participant, I think that choosing, sending, getting, AND reading the blog post of our recipients were all equally fun.
One past participant writes, “This whole book/activity swap has been a ton of fun! Thank you!”

I would SO love to join, but we have a huge move back to the US this summer. I'm not sure we can fit it in 🙁
Very excited I have signed up
Yay, just signed up. We loved it last year!
So glad you've signed up with the exchange again this year Lauren! Can't wait to see what you share.
How excited you're heading back to the US. Hopefully you can join us next summer and are able to follow along this summer. We'll have some surprised for our Readers!
YEAH! So glad that the UK is participating this year again! Thanks Cerys!
It's so much fun Adelina, you're going to love it! Can't wait to see what you share.
I signed up! I'm glad that I found this link. It looks like a blast.
Fun!!! We signed up for it! My 5 yr. old is going to love this! So do we wait to see what family we're paired up with before picking a book with activities?? Then we send you the picture?
Signed up and looking forward to it!
what an amazing idea…If you ever extend to Australia, I am in!
So glad you're joining us! Look for details to arrive soon.
I was wondering if I somehow missed the exchange of addresses and family information. Has it happened? Or am I worrying for no reason? Thank you. 🙂
We will be sending all the information out this week Liska, thank you so much for checking back. No worries. Just busy moms. Thank you so much for signing up!
I know how it goes. 🙂 No problem – I am happy I did not miss anything.
Have I missed the exchange of addresses?
Emma the address are being sorted out, we had some missing info on the form everyoen submitted, you should have received one email from us this week with details, they address one is coming today.
I've still not heard anything? What email address should I be checking my spam folder for?
Caroline let me check behind the scenes to be sure we have your info all there. It should have been received … theeducatorsspinonit@gmail.com
Caroline – I sent 2 e-mails to you. Will resend it later today. There should have been 2 from amandaboyarshinov (at) gmail.com
It's the yahoo one you gave us with 2924 in it
Hi. Similarly, I've not received anything, though my partner has dropped me an email so I know I must be swapping! Is it possible to re-send at all, please?
Hello! I have received the email with general information in it, but I have still been waiting for the address information. Did not want to bother you too much. 🙂 If they have been sent, can you resend mine too, please? I am not sure what the problem might be, but there is nothing in my inbox or spam folder. Thank you!
Liska… I'm trying to find someone in Canada to swap with you, you are currently the only one from there. Do you have a blogging buddy that might do it with you? I'm so sorry we had 4 participants last year from Canada.
I need your email address The Reading Residence! Can you send it to us? So I can reply to you.
Oh, that's too bad. No, unfortunately, I do not know anyone from Canada who would have a blog. I was fully prepared to ship to the USA since it is pretty much cheaper for me. 🙂 No idea how it is the other way around though.
I'll email you on your private account Liska… we can figure out something fun to include our Canadian friend 🙂
I am afraid I have not gotten anything yet. I was thinking: should I ask on KBN if anyone would be interested to do an exchange with me, considering I am from Canada? (I will be late for sure with choosing a book, but I like book exchanges and surprise parcels so much – really would like to participate. :))
