March is National Women’s History month. Many woman made significant contributions to our world in science, literature, math, politics and much more. One writer that I have loved sharing with my children is Laura Ingalls Wilder. Her writing style is very engaging and easily holds the attention of children. She lead a very adventurous life that your children will enjoy learning about.

The life of Laura Ingalls Wilder is so different than the life out children know. What my own children found unbelievable is that what their own grandparents were children Laura Ingalls Wilder was alive. Knowing that really helped my kids understand how much and how quickly the world has changed.

Here are some activities based on the life of Laura Ingalls Wilder.

Today is Dr. Seus’s birthday and you can celebrate this day with a little Seus science. Go ahead and read Bartholomew and the Oobleck and then go ahead and make your own Oobleck!

What is Oobleck? Another name for oobleck is goop. Goop is neither a solid nor a liquid. It is actually called a Newtonian Solid. It contains properties of both a solid and a liquid. Make some yourself today and experience this amazing substance made from household items. Enjoy our two different goop recipes.

Happy Birthday Dr. Seus!
