My dd loves running a cafe from her kitchen, although she's not writing yet (we're following a Waldorf-inspired approach with her, although she can write her name). It looks really good - I like the flower decoration she has added to it :) That’s wonderful!

I love the look of yours- very clean lines and personal. I also like your use of pictures. I should probably incorporate more into my own blogging, but I also worry about it subtracting from the written content. As for the crafts, it is a very cute idea. I always appreciate when people try and get away from textbooks, because I always learned better without the textbook. Thanks for visiting my blog.

How fun! My oldest is 5 also, and loves writing lists and tickets and menus. I love seeing how they spell things logically! I love that. How fun!

And be five again. Hmmm, except while retaining an adult's sense of how fun it is to be five again. Anyway, what I really wanted to comment was that I did pretty much this same project when I was in elementary school, for my AG (academically gifted) class. I suspect it would have been even more fun if I had spontaneously come up with the idea on my own, and also not been required to write a jingle and (the horror!) perform it in front of the class. Making up the restaurant was fun, though. I actually did kind of the same thing years later as an ESL teacher, having my students invent a themed resort hotel, but minus the jingle. We had just read a textbook chapter about an ice hotel, which is how this came up. I always tried to find ways use the textbook as little as possible. I want to come live at your house!

I need to show this to my boys. They often make menus, but they don't get fancy like this at all. They'd probably enjoy the inspiration. Nicely done! I need to show this to my boys.
