Book and Activities Ideas for Kids featured at The Educators' Spin On It Love Books Summer Exchange


Do you LOVE BOOKS?

Would your child like to get a book and activity in the mail?
Are you a blogger who likes activities that are fun AND educational?

So what is a LOVE BOOK exchange?


Our Participants select one book and one amazing, open ended activity to go along with it. 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. Don’t worry, we won’t spoil the surprise and post about it too soon!  Then they send the book and activity to the family they were matched with and wait!  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.  Kinda like an online thank you!

Past Love Book Participants Write: 



As a past participant (as well as organizer) I think that choosing, sending, getting, AND reading the blog post of our recipients were all equally fun. ~Amanda 

“This whole book/activity swap has been a ton of fun! Thank you!”

“We had so much fun participating last summer!”

“We participated last year and my school-age daughter LOVED it! We had so much fun planning what to send, and receiving a great package in return. It’s great to encourage summer reading.”

“We loved participating last year and it is so much fun to share a love of books with other families around the world.”

“I participated last year, and it was awesome! “
– Love Book Participant
