100 Field Trip Ideas for Kids in Kentucky

Kentucky, known as the "Bluegrass State," and "The Horse Capital of the World", is a treasure trove of history and natural beauty, offering families countless opportunities to learn and explore. From its pivotal role in the early days of the United States to its stunning landscapes, Kentucky provides an enriching experience for young children.   Historical Highlights  Kentucky played a vital part in shaping the nation.  As the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln, families can visit the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park to learn about America’s 16th president.  The state also played a crucial role during the Civil War. Sites like Camp Nelson National Monument allow young visitors to grasp the significance of Kentucky's contributions to freedom and equality, particularly its role as a Union supply depot and a place where enslaved people sought emancipation.   Geographical Wonders  Kentucky's natural landscapes are just as compelling as its histor

One Thousand Book Challenge for Tots 1-7 Yrs


I've heard it said that in order to raise a fluent reader you need to have read 1000 books covering a wide range of topics before they begin Kindergarten. That's a lot of books and a lot of reading! Have no fear; if you read at least 5 books per day to your toddler starting now - you'll catch up in no time. It also doesn't mean you have to go out and buy 1000 books. How to get your 1000 books:

  • You can borrow hard copies from your local library
  • Trade books with your Mommy/Toddler friends or if you want something more Covid friendly... 
  • You can borrow e-books from your local library
  • Purchase e-books (which tend to be cheaper than hard copies of books.)
  • Make use of free book opportunities. For that Happy Meal option select the book!
  • Listen to readings of books for free on YouTube

Bookmark this page as I will be updating it with some of my personal favourite books that I recommend for toddlers age 1 - 5 (and even beyond!). It's never too late to join the #1000 book challenge!

Feel free to add your personal favorites in the comments below so that we can grow this toddler reading list together, to 1000 books! Also SUBSCRIBE to The Tot Tutor Youtube Channel and visit the 'Reading Fun' playlist to hear me read some of my favorite children books, on the journey to 1000 books!
