Robert Sabuda Pop-Up Books For Your Lovebugs

Being a full time nanny, I read an astronomical amount of Children's books! Robert Sabuda pop-ups are my favorite. His attention to detail is amazing; you can even see furniture inside the pop-up house of Alice in Wonderland! And the Emerald City Castle in The Wizard of Oz, comes with 3D glasses! Each page is a work of art. These books will blow you away!


PaperEngineer Robert Sabuda is a pioneer in the field of Children’s Pop-Up Books.Since 1994, when he published his first title “The Christmas Alphabet,” Sabudahas not only been pushing the envelope and raising the bar in pop-uppublishing, but he has virtually created his own genre. Though there arecertainly other pop-up books being published, very few can compete with thesophisticated engineering of Sabuda’s work.

Sidewalk Chalk Paint

I made some chalk paint for Billy(7) and Boadie(5) today! They loved it! The boys pretended to be battling wizards and splattered this magic (chalk) all over the street with their wands (paint brushes).
Happy kids.

1/4 cup cornstarch + 1/4 cup water + 5 drops food coloring = Sidewalk Chalk Paint
