Have you checked out the sixth book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Food Group series written by Jory John and and illustrated by Pete Oswald? The Sour Grape will have you laughing out loud with its antics, word play, and humor!

In this story, a sweet grape becomes angry and sour when no one shows up to his birthday party. He turns unpleasant and becomes impatient with friends.

However, the sour grape eventually realizes that he, too, makes mistakes. And just as he wants forgiveness for his mistakes, he must learn to forgive others as well.

This tale helps children understand the consequences of holding on to anger instead of letting it go.

To enhance this wonderful book, we’ve created some Book Study Materials, including:

LEGO Brick Building Challenges

This download includes 5 LEGO brick building challenges based on the book.

After reading the story, your child will complete these challenges using their own LEGO collection.

The challenges range in cognitive complexity from more concrete to more abstract.

All of the challenges are open-ended, with no right or wrong answer.

The challenges are designed to bring our your child’s creativity and to get your child thinking more deeply about certain themes from the story.

This download includes a Brick Building Challenge Planner as an optional supplement to the building challenges to help your child plan and reflect on their LEGO builds.

Thank you so much, Katie! I was able to use the body part bingo with my pre-k/kindergarten co-op and it was a huge hit with all the kids as we have fun learning about the basics of human anatomy. Perfect addition to our class!!

Your resources rank at the top of the list! As a retired teacher I am loving the printables for my grandchildren. Wish I had this available in the classroom. Thank you for sharing them. I know you have spent hours on them and letting us use them is truly a gift.

I just purchased your book, 101 Ways to Teach the Alphabet. To say I am soooooo excited, is an understatement. I have taught for many years, but your book has brought even more, new insight and excitement about learning and teaching the alphabet! I can’t wait for the new year to begin!

I work with special needs preschool students who are also ESL. Your printables are a great resource for my classroom. The themes support their vocabulary development and the level of skills is adaptable for my students’ range of abilities. The children never tire of your materials and the adults all think your artwork is so cute. You save me so much time so that I can focus better on the children rather than searching out materials. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I have so many of your printables saved already and we are looking forward to a great year of home preschooling with a patchwork of resources from creative people like you!

Hey there, I’m Katie!

I help busy parents and teachers engage children in high-interest, hands-on activities that make learning fun, easy, and natural.

After completing a master’s degree in education and a PhD in child development, I became a homeschooling mom to two curious kids.

I soon discovered that my teaching superpower is the ability to take any topic and uplevel it with developmentally appropriate, engaging, hands-on activities!

Now I’m dedicated to making YOU the hero by helping you share high-quality learning activities with your children and students.
