Can you believe it's August already? And it's a packed month in my world: work, events, doctors appointments, family birthdays, family funeral on Friday, meeting a new grandson...and debating if I should use some of my vacation days in August or wait until September.
Hmmm...
We will kick off the festivities this Saturday when WriteOn Joliet participates in Kidz Fest for the first time this year - and we are excited!
The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the Will County Lot, 302 N. Chicago St. in Joliet.
Activities include magic shows, face painting, pony
rides, petting zoo, roller skating, inflatable slide, and vendors, including WriteOn Joliet.
And if you come out, please by the WriteOn Joliet booth where we are all about the words!
1. We will give way approximately 80 locally authored books for children and adults.
2. We will have 140 FREE bookmarks to color on site or at home.
Where did we buy them? We didn't. We invented them!
We took child-safe wood blocks, curated a list of words, and then the very talented Jasmine and her Cricut added white backgrounds and each letter one at a time.
We've tried them out at home, and they are lots of fun. You might not want to stop at just one sentence.
WriteOn Joliet will also have information about the group as a whole and individual authors separately.
We hope you will leave our table more excited about reading and writing then before you arrived.

Maybe your word blocks will be the next Uno or Boggle.
Maybe. Several parents asked us where we bought them. I couldn't find anything like this to buy. So we had to make them. :)
