Are you familiar with The Magic Tree House books? Written by Mary Pope Osborne, this award-winning collection of children's books follows a brother and sister (Jack and Annie) on many different adventures through time, space, and history. The magical tree house sends them on a different adventure in each book. They get to go back in time 65 million years where they run into different dinosaurs, they travel to medieval Ireland where they encounter Vikings, and so much more.

If you are a The Magic Tree House fan, there are many crafts you can make that are related to the books. One craft that is fun to do for any book is making a diorama (check out this diorama David made for one of his favorite The Magic Tree House books, Afternoon on the Amazon).
