I thought I'd share the bulletin board I made for CJ due to her obsession with The Little Red Train books. In case you're wondering why it's on the floor, I've found that CJ enjoys the bulletin boards more when she can get up close and micro-analyze the pictures. Her favorite pictures on the board are the two pictures of The Little Red Train that I found using Google image search- what a surprise! I found the other train pictures, the crossing sign and word wall here. The pictures of Thomas the Train and his friends came from here, and the "sh" and "ch" trains along the bottom came from Sparklebox. I love that all of these are free (except for the ink and paper, of course)! Just in case your child becomes as big of a fan of Duffy as mine has, I stumbled across this. And they do ship to the US- I checked. :o)
CJ has a cold, and in between blowing her nose and keeping her away from Rose, we're reading Blueberries for Sal and doing some fun stuff along with it- I'm hoping to have a post up about that early next week.
This is a fun idea. Kiddo and CJ would obviously get along very well and clearly CJ would enjoy living in the city where she would get to ride the train everyday. :) Is she also into train schedules and train maps? Perhaps a whole new world to obsess over awaits.

Great idea! We just got a bulletin board from freecycle, and Farmer Dad even hung it for me..lol Now we have to remember we have it and use it.
