You always write such good, well-written reviews and choose good books to review! Thanks for sharing this one!

I accidentally deleted a whole slew of posts last week, and it looks like this one fell victim to that as well.

I love how you made the paint resist. I keep meaning to do that, and yet haven't yet.

Wow. I love your craft for this.

I checked out Over and Under the Snow after I had heard so much buzz about it and saw it on the NY Times list, and when I got it I agreed that it was a visually lovely book and I liked the text. Sadly, however, neither of my boys took to it.

What a great activity! Somehow I didn't know this book was by Kate Messner. I'm more familiar with her middle grade chapter books, but have always loved this picture book. Thanks for sharing!

I'm still waiting for the library copy I ordered to come in ... may have to get my own. Love this!

And I wonder if I will be brave enough to try this project with some classes at school. This will be totally out of their element ... many of the kiddos have never even seen snow.

But anyway, so glad the comment challenge led me your way. I'll be back!

How much do I love this project and book? The book looks amazing, there is a world under the snow which I have forgotten now that we get no snow. ;)

I have been looking for birch tree art for a while, now maybe we can make ours instead! Thank you.

PS. I absolutely love the title of your blog. Thanks for visiting me and introducing me to it.

Your project instructions are fabulous - such great detail, especially the tip about rubbing the tape on your clothes to make it less sticky.

Love this activity. I have a special fondness for birch and it is one of the trees I miss most living in the south. We are starting a collection of books and activities on our blog and this is exactly what we are looking for. We would love to have you link this and any other book and activity post up as well. The link will be open year long!http://theeducatorsspinonit.blogspot.com/p/love-books.html

I LOVE your project!! I am going to put a hold on that book =-) Super cute idea! I am your newest follower. I'd love for you to follow me back, if you want to =-) I also wanted to invite you to link up at TGIF Linky Party - http://livinglifeintentionally.blogspot.com/search/label/Linkey%20Parties.

Their art is wonderful!!
You are right, there are only a handful of great winter books and I haven't seen a lot of new books that cover winter well. We usually go back to white snow, bright snow and The mitten-- more of the classics. I'm excited to check out this new title!

This is fabulous!! Beautiful book and project!!

2012-01-06T13:21:51.827-06:00

Your projects are always so cool! Love the coffee grounds for dirt (makes me want my afternoon cup!).

Reading this prompted a thought/question: Do you keep all the projects you do with your kids for the blog? IF you do, do you have a organizational tip you could share?

I kinda just throw stuff in a bin. Gotta be a better way.

2012-01-06T13:02:37.630-06:00

I love that you married an art activity to a book. That's what I call an "enhanced" book!

You've also sold me on the book. I look forward to finding and reading it.

Ooh, I'll have to check out Over and Under the Snow, and I am so impressed at the artwork your kids made! Such talent! What a very, very cool blog you have here. Thank you so much for visiting mine! :)

I love the illustrations from that book - and what a fun art project to go with it. My daughter would love it! I am going to have to give it a try.

I've been looking forward to this book, and we're definitely going to try the tape resist trees. Thanks for the review and project idea!
