October 11, 2015 by Shellie Wilson Leave a Comment

For all the Lesson plan readers you may not know but my kids (little Craftgossip kidlets ) are some what obsessed with Harry Potter. Last year the shared combined birthday party as they both wanted the same theme “Harry Potter”. I was writing for our Party Ideas Blog at the time and you can check out some snapshots from the party here. Harry Potter Party Ideas.

Until now, the Harry Potter digital books have only been available for readers to purchase through the Pottermore Shop. Starting this week, iBooks® users can experience the books with all new exclusive custom covers for each title, and typography including the custom Harry Potter typefaces and new section headers and drop caps.

What makes these Harry Potter books enhanced? Well I will let Miss CraftGossip (8) tell you about that.

I have read ALL of the Harry Potter books, but I loved going back and re-reading these books. They are “Enchanting”.

The Harry Potter Enhanced Editions are available in English for A$11.99 inc. GST each in 32 countries. Pre-orders also begin today for French, German and Spanish versions, and will be available on 9 November in 18 additional countries.

Harry Potter fans can explore other magical content including Harry Potter movies, soundtrack albums and apps on the custom Harry Potter page on iBooks at www.iTunes.com/au/HarryPotter.

We highly recommend Amazon Prime for streaming. They are currently offering a 30-day free trial.

Shark Week Learning for Kids

Shark Week generally happens in July, but any time is a good time to learn more about sharks.

First, start with some fun whale facts like these from Kids Craft Room. Here I learned about the dwarf lantern shark, which is the smallest shark and only grows to about 6-8 inches (about 15-20 cm) long. It also emits light. How cool is that?

Natural Beach Living has some great printable shark information guides, where kids can learn about different kinds of sharks, match the facts to the pictures, or print out doubles and do a shark memory game.

Living Life an Learning has some great shark activity pages including the parts of a shark, types of sharks, a crossword puzzle and more. Also check out their parts of a shark and word scramble download, and a life cycle worksheet.

Learn about how sharks float with this great activity from JDaniel4’s Mom.

Need more facts about sharks? This fact pact from The WOLFe PACK on Teacher Pay Teachers includes fact sheets, a printable flip book, informational text, vocabulary, comprehension questions and more.

Living Montessori Now has a great collection of shark themed activities with a Montessori inspired twist. You’ll find a shark roll and cover, shark phonics and lots more shark activities Deb has collected from all over the Internet.

Remember the “Sharknado” movie? A Few Shortcuts turned the combination of sharks and tornadoes into a fun science activity. You’ll need a bottle connector for this project but otherwise should have everything you need on hand. Use their template to make your sharks out of aluminum foil. So fun!

You can also do some shark themed coloring with these coloring pages from Encouraging Moms at Home. Or make a cool 3D shark with this template from korkotak. And there are tons of different shark crafts collected in this post from Kids Activities Blog.
