Do you know how when you go holiday shopping and see something you have to buy for yourself? Yep, me too. :) I treated myself to this little Haiku Magnetic Poetry Kit and have had so much fun sorting through the words to create unique haiku.

You can scatter the words on any magnetic metal surface, like a baking pan or the refrigerator. I used my watercolor paint tin and turned it upside down. The small black metal scrap in the garage worked great for the poem placement. You can buy the kit here (not endorsed).

Here’s a haiku I created from the kit

SPEAKING OF HAIKU

I am excited about my newest book, How Do You Haiku? I’m thrilled to be able to share fun ways to “haiku” with kids (and adults). Along with simple instructions, the book is jam-packed with templates and poetry activities for at home and in the classroom. Please take a look and let me know what you think. 🙂
