We’re so excited to welcome you back to the After School LInky Party ! I hope that you had a wonderful winter break with your child. As we head back to school this week I know at least my daughter will be excited to come home and play with her new things from Christmas.
Turn New Gifts into Writing Activities
One special gift she received from our sweet neighbors was an American Girl Crafts Sew and Stuff Kit, Penguins, surprisingly the theme was Penguins. Perhaps you may have noticed that we’re working on with our Playful Preschool Posts and Free Planner this month with her younger sister too! Take a peek at this adorable kit and get inspired by our penguin Writing Prompts.
American Girl Crafts Sew and Stuff Kit, Penguins
Penguin Themed Story Prompts
After watching her play dramatic play with it I thought that a great story prompt would be fun to encourage her to write about each day to keep up her writing skills. So all this month we’ll be using these Penguin Writing Prompts in a Penguin Journal for writing.
Share your Story Telling Fun with Toys
I’d love for your to join us! Feel free to post images on instagram or our facebook page of your child penguin creations and stories using their penguin as a prompt. Truthfully any toy they received this holiday would be a great starter for a story. American Girl Doll, Lollalopsy, Legos, My Little Ponies, Barbies, Superheros any toy, you name it! Let me know who your child will be writing about this month. It’s a fun way to expand those holidays gifts beyond play after school and sneak in a little learning.
Use the hashtag #learningafterschool so we can find each other!

I love your penguin prompts – so creative. It looks like your school ends early – ours ends at 2:15 pm, which means daughter is at home at 2:30 on the days where we don't have afterschool Y program. I have to try out your planner!
Love it!!! I'll try some of these with my daughter when she gets home today from school!
I love the handwriting prompts. These are terrific!
Thank you for stopping by the Thoughtful Spot Weekly Blog Hop this week. We hope to see you drop by our neck of the woods next week!
