back to school pencil magnets

So, we're still on our popsicle stick kick. Here's what inspired us.

One Some Many by Martha Jocelyn and Tom Slaughter is a gorgeous counting book.

Slaughter is an acclaimed artist whose works are in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art. I love the bright colors--so inspiring. In fact, Juliet started making pencils and ended up painting a picture of a flower and a bee from another page in this book.

We turned them into magnets. (Just like the ones from yesterday.)

We've been reading a bunch of "back to school books". This is an illustration from A Pocketful of Cricket by Rebecca Caudill (illustrated by Evaline Ness).


The Rattlesnake Who Went to School is another fun one for back-to-school.

Do you have any favorites to recommend?
