The Magic of the Treehouse

I never had a treehouse nor do my children, wish they did. You see my daughter has been reading a chapter book series called The Magic Treehouse. She has fallen in love with reading it.

My husband and I built her a puppet board and we used the theme from the book. It’s about a brother and sister who finds this treehouse and when they climb up they find 100′s of books. As they start to read they find themselves from the magic of the treehouse within the book ( the power of imagination).

I managed to find a boy and girl puppet, and she has been acting put the different books. So her father suggested she take it to school since her class is also now reading them. She asked and her teacher said what a great idea. Well it has turned out the school loved it. She performed it for her class, another class heard about it and asked that she do it for their class. She does, and now the main teacher for the libary also asked for her to perform it.

She bought the board home this past weekend and we started adding stuff to the board to the theme. Here is a picture of the board, we are still working on it.
