What better way to spend a Saturday in the Big Apple than reading, learning, and crafting? Now you can at The Scholastic Store, the coolest place to enjoy a good book, meet new friends, and make unique craft projects.
Unleash your wild side on July 7 when the store releases “Jungle Party” and “Moody Monsters,” two new activity books just right for children 3 to 6 years old who like to play with stickers, finger puppets, and puzzles.
July 14 introduces “Wings of Fire the Dragonet Prophecy,” by Tui T Sutherland. Children 4 and older make a paper dragon and learn how to “dig” paleontology by learning about dinosaurs.
Little ones 3 to 7 should stampede over to the store on July 21 for “Jungle Run,” by Tony Mitton. Tots will compete in a jungle race, play a round of wilderness charades, and then wolf down animals crackers while creating their very own puppet.
Get your spandex on and vault into the Olympic season on July 28 when “Gold Medal Summer,” by Donna Freitas hurdles into the store with a limbo tournament and a pass-the-torch relay. Children 6 and older can creating their own versions of gold medals.
