Make a Magic Tree House Passport for Your Adventurous Readers

March 23, 2026 by Sarah White Leave a Comment

My daughter definitely went through a Magic Tree House phase. I don’t think she read all the original books (there are many more now), but she read a good chunk of them, plus some of the Merlin Missions and we had a fact book or two based on the series, too.

Kids love these adventurous books about a pair of siblings who travel through time to meet dinosaurs, Abraham Lincoln, Shakespeare, Emperor Qin of China and Cro Magons, to name just a few. Their combination of magic, time travel and a little bit of facts is irresistible to a lot of kids.

If you have a Magic Tree House fan or you’re getting ready to start reading the series, this Magic Tree House printable passport from Stories by Storie is a great thing to have to track your progress.

The passport included the first 36 books, and there are little clip art “stamps” that relate to the topic of each book. Print the passports and stamps in color or black and white and attach the corresponding one to the page when the child has read the book.

There are four different options for passport covers, and the stamps can be printed with one copy of each on a sheet for a single reader (or a few readers in your class) or you can print out a full sheet of the same stamp if you’re reading the books in the classroom.

This passport is available from Teachers Pay Teachers. The same person also has a huge bundle of Magic Tree House printable and digital activities that covers the first 40 books, which might be fun if you have kids who are really into the books.

The materials for each book include a summary, comprehension questions, vocabulary, a word search, a quiz, character graphic organizers and more. (Each book’s resources are also available individually if you only need the one/s you are teaching or reading as a group.)

Ice Cream Crafts for Kids to Make

We’ve gotten to the point in summer where I live where I spend a lot of time thinking about ice cream. While I’m trying to avoid eating ice cream daily as a way to beat the heat, let’s take a look at some ice cream themed crafts we can make instead.

And don’t miss these learning activities with an ice cream theme if you need more ideas.

One of the links in that post was to this cute puffy paint ice cream cone craft from Crafty Morning, which deserves more attention because it’s super cute and this version of puffy paint is easy to make and sensory fun for kids. They also have this cute handprint ice cream cone craft that’s super sweet for little kids to make.

You can use everyday materials of all sorts to make your ice cream cones. For example, you can use a sponge and pompom or cotton balls like stamps as in this craft from Fantastic Fun and Learning.

Or use a potato to make the top of the cone like this one from Made to be a Momma.

Make your ice cream from a doily, like this one from Crafts on Sea, which is also embellished with pompoms for sprinkles. I Heart Crafty Things has a similar project done with a cupcake liner instead of a doily.

Or try using cotton pads, which can then be decorated with watercolors, as shown in this tutorial from Happy Toddler Playtime. You could do the same thing with cotton balls if you don’t have cotton pads handy.

Cut a paper plate into a cone shape and have kids decorate it with this craft idea from Easy Peasy and Fun. One of hers shows using real sprinkles to decorate the ice cream, which is a great idea if you’ve got some old sprinkles lurking in the pantry. Or you can just draw on sprinkles or use other random things from around the house.

The Pinterested Parent has a printable for a mosaic ice cream cone craft, which is a fun way to use up bits of paper. You could also make it more of a collage with different kinds and colors of paper and different items to add to your ice cream.
