While the book shares a lot about the White House’s history, many of its pictures feature the Obama family. One of his daughter is shown walking the family dog in the Rose Garden and the whole family is shown on a page that talks about how it is an office and a home.
JDaniel and I enjoyed reading The White House and learning more about it.
What did we do to explore The White House?
A simple paper cone decorated with stars and ribbons seemed very patriotic.

That White House is amazing!!
I never knew that the sandstone walls were sealed with white paint! You learn something new every day! I love how you “explore” books with your son!
ooh! That White House model is cool! And to think, I’ve been throwing away my packing foam all this time!
Your white house model turned out very cute!
That looks like a fun day. The white house is awesome like others said, but I love the simple red white and blue popcorn
We will have to check that book out. Thanks for the recommendation!

I agree with everyone else that your White House is amazing!
Love, our son is loving Lincoln books.
Okay- I’ve thought this so many times when I have read your posts…I’m gonna go for it….here I go…
“Can I PLEASE come grow up at your house?” I want to be raised by YOU. Can we just start my life over and you take the childhood part? Lets think on that….
What great ideas you have for this book! I love the White House model!
This is a great way to get very young kids involved in current events and citizenship…not always easy! Thank you so much for sharing!

You are so creative.
Great week. Excellent way to explain to incorporate learning and history to children. I pinned your article on Pinterest. Stopping by from SITS.

What a great inauguration craft!
Just put my college age son on the train to DC to go see the inauguration, another step on the learning process. Hope he can get close enough to see the Obamas.
Your White House is amazing. I think I want to watch Inauguration on TV this time.
With no kids around, I explore books by reading way too late into the night.
I’ve been at some really good ones, though!

DC is our hometown! We miss it!!! Love the popcorn!
You are so fun – we have a Lego White House to put together & will be using it to explore and learn soon – I love yours – may have to do that one with my younger boys while big brother works with the Lego’s! 🙂 thanks for hosting
Wow, I love the popcorn! What a great idea!
What an awesome inaugural celebration! Love the model of the White House. I kinda wish I had a wand too – I bet it was waving like crazy when Beyonce was singing the national anthem.
great ideas!! thanks for sharing on the Sunday Showcase!
