You've probably heard about the tremendous benefits of reading with your child. But did you know art has a powerful impact as well? If you or your child have ever struggled with self-regulation (e.g., staying calm amid frustration), consider adding art back into your day.
Timberdoodle's Across the USA 2020 Summer Reading Challenge Bundle pairs art with reading to spark creativity and capture imaginations amid a summer routine that may look vastly different from any other summer you've experienced. Your children can color as you read, while they listen to an audiobook, or just to celebrate the finishing of another book!
Build a Giant Poster Coloring Book: United States Map
Twenty-four individual pages include capitals, fun facts, and whimsical images of regional landmarks to color. Each page is unbacked and perforated for easy removal. Once you've colored all your pages, simply tape them together to create a 44" x 47¼" map!
Across the USA 2020 Summer Reading Challenge Ebook
With your purchase of the Across the USA 2020 Summer Reading Challenge Bundle, we include a Timberdoodle-exclusive ebook that lists 15-30 book suggestions per state - over 1300 suggestions total! These suggestions are mostly geared for preschool through about 6th grade and are intended as starting points to find one per state that suits your family. We've included as many as possible that are available via ebook so that you can take advantage of your library's electronic lending or your kindle device if, like us, your state hasn't opened physical libraries back up yet. Of course, many titles will be of interest to teens or adults as well, or choose your own titles!
