Knuffle Bunny Printable

I pur­chased a Knuf­fle Bunny from Ama­zon and couldn’t wait to give it to the kids. I wanted them to tie in to the story more and make Knuf­fle Bunny even more spe­cial to them. I made up a note from Trixie in which she gifts Knuf­fle Bunny to my kids.


To download/print the note click on the pic­ture or click here.

I know that in Knuf­fle Bunny Free Trixie gives her Knuf­fle Bunny to another child. Deen asked me why Trixie was giv­ing it to him instead of the other child who had Knuf­fle Bunny. I told him that the other child grew older and gave Knuf­fle Bunny back to Trixie. Trixie knew that Deen and Aaliya were feel­ing a bit sad because their grand­fa­ther passed away so she sent Knuf­fle Bunny to them to help them feel better.

I will be using the Knuf­fle Bunny Teach­ing Guide and the Knu­fle Bunny Free activ­i­ties this week. The two guides include a maze, games, and story ques­tions that will make the kids think and will help them notice small details about the story and pictures.

Frugal Water Squirting

by Nadia on November 15, 2011

in Aaliya,Deen

South Africa has been extremely hot the passed few days. The kids needed to do some­thing that was gonna cool us off while burn­ing off some excess energy.
We had a water drop­per fight!
There was pretty much no prepa­ra­tion needed and we used things we already had at home.

  • Water in a big bowl
  • Med­i­cine squirter/dropper


The kids were full of gig­gles! Mama was full of smiles!
It was great exer­cise for me too. When they came loaded with two drop­pers loaded with water I had to run away as fast as possible.


And its a great fine motor skills & prob­lem solv­ing activ­ity for your kids. They have to learn how to fill the drop­per and learn how to squirt the water out.
