Enhance the Downtime
Take some time to relax and grab a cup of coffee while you flip through this book of classroom activities. These activities will not only let you catch your breath on a busy day, but help you and your students take a break from the grind by promoting fun and learning in the classroom with activities that range from simple vocab searches to projects that build strange things from every day found objects. You can download and print one activity at a time or all at once. It’s up to you!
I hope you find this resource to be an easy way to inspire your kids to get out of the box and look around. And, since I love hearing from those who work with books and kids everyday, feel free to share your suggestions for things to add to this catalog or to the Lounge in general that could make your classroom even more fun.
Don’t forget to join me in the Teacher’s Lounge regularly as I will be updating activities as often as possible.
Enjoy!
That Leggy Beast
Hi, it’s me the picture guy about to get all wordy on you again.
In case you’ve wondered, I’ve been out. My mind, along with all of my other earthly parts have been away, out of the office, out of order, out to lunch, out of the country peddling furiously. No, that isn’t a metaphor for the creative process; I mean I’ve been literally peddling on my bike, really fast and for great amounts of time over vast and strange landscapes looking for an adequate way to start this blog.

One of the most frustrating things about illustrating books is that I never get to spend as much time with my creations as I’d like because my books are more or less limited to 32 pages; which seems like the blink of the eye.
