When the coronavirus lockdown prevented me from doing my usual school visits and other events, I decided to share some of my tried-and-tested, book-related activities for families to try at home, through a regular blog. I’ve shared 20 so far, and thought it might be helpful to bring them all together in one place. This is the place!
And I’d love to see any work you produce. You can email it to petarainford@gmail.com, post it on my Peta Rainford’s Facebook page @dogpigeon, or Tweet me @PetaRainford
