We are proud to showcase Lessons Learnt Journal and their "fort with fairy lights" this week. When we transition our fall decorations out of storage, I am grabbing our Christmas lights.
In the book The Sense of Wonder Rachel Carson wrote:
If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder without any such gift from the fairies, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in.
I believe small details, like helping your child add lights to their fort, are the things that keep childhood magical.
Get the link to the full feature post and our three favorite projects from last week at the end of the group share.
Be sure to check out all the wonderful ideas from this week as you scroll down.
Happy Friday!

Notes to Fellow Bloggers:
- We are looking to team up with other fun kid's blogs to create something we fondly call the Kid's Co-op. A weekly group of blogging parents who do a joint link-up with their readers to showcase some of the hippest kids projects out on the web. Blogs of all sizes are welcome. If you are interested, request to join our private Facebook group by clicking here.
- Stop by every Friday and add your link. Your link will show up on each of the blogs in the community, so it’s like linking up to multiple parties at once! We currently have 20+ bloggers participating.
- Each week we will try to choose favorite posts to feature. By linking up, you are giving us permission to use an image and link back to you (if featured). You will also get a 'Featured on' button to proudly display on your blog.
- Visit other posts that catch your eye. Keep these other bloggers inspired by commenting on posts that you find interesting or creative.
- The Kid’s Co-op Members will be reviewing links and sharing their favorites on our group Pinterest board which has 240,000+ followers.
