We are busy, busy, busy again, in October!

It's always busy in October, but what a mega fun Autumn month it will be, this year!

On October 1st starts up to and including October 12 Children's Book Week in The Netherlands and this year's theme is Vol Avontuur! (Full of Adventure!). The funniest, most beautiful and most exciting books are published this month. If you buy such a book in Dutch this period (and spend at least €13.50!) you will receive the Children's Book Week Gift book: Lexie (only in Dutch) by Kevin Hassing and Marieke ten Berge for free!

The Children's Book Week Picture Book of 2025 is De koning zonder paard (The  King without a horse) by Levina van Teunenbroek en Charlotte Bruijn. A lfunny picture book that costs only € 7.99 during the Children's Book Week (while stocks last.)

On October 4th it is Dutch Animal Day and then we spoil our pets (we actually we spoil them every day) and ourselves with a very funny book and yummie biscuits. :))

Diwali starts on October 21st, we make a very cute craft and we cook special food. We also bake the most tasty, fun biscuits.

From October 18 up to and including October 26 it's Autumn break and we will be crafting a lot again!

At the same day that Autumn break ends, on Sunday October 26th at 03.00 AM the clock will be set back one hour. Then winter time starts and outside it will be dark a lot sooner!

On the last day of October (everyone knows it) it's Halloween! It will be a lot of fun again and we start thinking about our costumes now already!

What else do we do in October? First of all: reading of course! We read the Children's Book Week books and more. We read a lot because we have plenty of time during autumn break. We cook and bake an craft a lot too, every free moment we are busy.

We told you already October is a busy but wonderful month!

Have fun in your Autumn Break and with all the happy, festive days. that are coming!
