Spring Break with Books

Today is the first day of spring break here. My kids slept in (except for the toddler, he was up before 6:00 so I was too). We've been to Target and the library, watched a movie, played with play doh, and they're currently playing with a ball in the house. We'll see how well that last one turns out.

Some years I have great plans for all the fun stuff we're going to do, either at home or away. This year I've been too busy to make plans. Which doesn't bode well for having time to do fun stuff. But books are always on my brain, so I've come up with some book related activities to do with kids over spring break (or any random Tuesday). The list is followed by some links and more detailed ideas.
