Not a Hat
There’s a set of children’s books I really love called Not a Box and Not a Stick where a little animal imagines all the things a box or a stick could be (a robot suit, for instance, or a sword to fight dragons).
Since I got this hat, I’ve been noticing all the things it is besides a hat at my house. In the past two weeks, it’s been a mask, a curtain for playing “peek-a-boo” with Ani, and, memorably, a very small boat just the right size for a toddler to paddle across the living room carpet.
The hat’s gotten in on the game too – last week at the beach, it seemed to think it was a kite, soaring skyward with a particularly hard gust of wind (and then landing in the waves, of course. Happily, it dried out nicely, looking none the worse for wear).
Those books are favourites in our house too! My 3yr old reads them to us all the time
I love this post. You look so pretty! And I love the hat (and I may be having hair envy, since you have disney Princess hair in these pictures.)
I love you JoTote! Do you use it as a regular bag too?
I do, and it's awesome! So many pockets!
love that hat!
Super cute!
What a clever post!
Love the hat! I think that is a fantastic set of books (Not a box, Not a Stick) to inspire creativity and always read them to kinder-first grade students.
