Kids love getting mail and we love doing amazing things with and for our kids! As Summer approaches we want to encourage our children to read and love books throughout the summer. Here’s a great way to have a Book & Activities arrive at your doorstep! We will be hosting a “LOVE BOOKS!” Exchange for blogging parents in which we trade names and gift other blogging families with a book and themed projects to go with it.
This Spring we had our first Love Books Exchange, it was so much fun we can’t wait to do it again! We enjoyed getting to know other blogging families and can’t wait to meet yours too.
If you are interested in participating:
1. You must have a blog and at least 1 child between the ages of 0 and 10. Participants must agree to purchase 1 book and create a themed package for another blogger’s children to make and do. Open ended – creative projects are the best!
2. Stay under a $20 limit for all – this is not meant to break the bank. Used books in great condition would be awesome!
3. Must SHIP your packages in June – NO LATER THAN JUNE 20th. (First Day of Summer)
4. READ and DO the project with your children when your package arrives.
5. Blog about your package – make sure to include a link back to the givers blog and include a LOVE BOOKS button on your post. Must be POSTED by JULY 15th
6. Link your post to our LOVE BOOKS page! We will be including your URL’s on multiple posts too =) Free blog publicity!
Do you want to see a sample? Here is what was exchanged this Spring in our First LOVE BOOKS Exchange! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask!
Would you like to participate?
Please e-mail us at [email protected] by Friday, JUNE 1st at 9:00 PM.
Put SUMMER LOVE BOOKS Participant in the subject line
In your e-mail include.
· Your first name & photo for our introduction page
· Your blog name and URL
· Your kids ages
· Your name address where the book and activities will be shipped. (I will see this address and the blogger who will send you will receive this address)
· And a statement to explain your commitment to the project as we are all parents who want the best for our kids. It is no fun making a package for another person if the kindness isn’t reciprocated!
