A little game!
Have your kiddo find their dragon name and come to the store and tell me what it is. I have a few freebies they can have if they do!

Things are winding down. I have a very small amount of toys left and a few items left on marketplace. Everyday I let go of something that I have told myself, "No, I'm not ready for that." Today it was the treehouses. I knew they would have to go and today was the day. They went to a new home where they will be very loved. 🐸❤

Another seat has been claimed for Creation Station - Afterschool Art Lab - 7 remain. 🐸❤

Week 1 – Welcome to the Creation Station – Afterschool Art Lab
There is no "right way" to create. Friends are introduced to and explore a variety of exciting art materials, tools, and discover that creativity begins with curiosity—not perfection.

Week 2 – Color Explorers - Discover the Magic of Color

Children experiment with mixing colors, painting techniques, and creative tools while learning that every discovery starts with experimentation.

Week 3 – Texture Detectives -Everything has texture!

Children discover texture through natural materials, recycled objects, and unexpected tools while learning to observe details in the world around them.

Week 4 – Recycled Creations - Ordinary objects can become extraordinary.

Using recycled and everyday materials, children design and build original creations while developing planning, engineering, and problem-solving skills.

Week 5 – Nature Makers - Nature is full of Inspiration

Children use leaves, flowers, sticks, stones, and other natural materials to create artwork while learning to appreciate the beauty and patterns found outdoors.

Week 6 – Creator's Showcase - Celebrate Creativity

Children choose their favorite materials and techniques from previous weeks to design an original project that reflects their own ideas and personality. Families are invited to attend a special gallery celebration where children proudly share their artwork and creative journey.

I received encouragement that I didn't realize I needed today. Representatives from one of our frog friend families stopped by today to brainstorm STEM workshops. Thanks for the nudge Craig Adams! More to come friends! 🐸❤

Check out what Nerdy & Girly has planned for backtoschool!

Help us stock a teacher's library by purchasing a book through our Classroom Sponsorship program!

We currently have 💜7 teachers💜 on our waitlist who are hoping to receive a book for their classroom this fall. By purchasing a sponsorship, we'll send them a book PLUS a sticker sheet for them to share with their students.

Use code BACK2SCHOOL at checkout to get free shipping on every classroom sponsorship through August 31. (After you enter the code, be sure to click the "free shipping" option as sometimes this option falls to the bottom of the list.)

You can purchase a Classroom Sponsorship on our website: https://thenerdyandgirly.com/product/classroom-sponsorship/

And, if you're a teacher, we invite you to join our wishlist as well! 🥰 It's as simple as filling out a short form on our website to request a book.

Boring shipping disclaimer: Free shipping is only available to teachers with a US-based address. Packages will be sent via USPS Media Mail unless a different method of shipment is selected at checkout.

This guy is an OG frog friend and a big fan of the doggie cart! 🐸❤

I was finishing up the storeroom today. I found the original puppy cart for the store. He has always been a favorite. So, I put it on the floor to see what would happen. I had my back turned but heard the jingle of the bell that told me someone had found the doggie cart.

Make sure you stop by before school starts! 🐸❤
