When I was a girl, I really enjoyed reading the Raggedy Ann and Andy books. They had such a warm and loving feel to them.
I also enjoyed sharing the books with my daughters when they were young. It was at that point that I realized how valuable these stories are when it comes to teaching virtues. There is so much that children can learn from these classic stories. Having a cheerful disposition, helping others in need, and being kind to all are just a few of the wonderful character traits that can be gleaned from the Raggedy Ann and Andy stories.
I thought I’d share with you some of the Raggedy Ann and Andy books that you can currently get. Their availability has changed over the years so you may want to snatch them up while you can.
I also thought I’d share some of the Raggedy Ann and Andy resources that I’ve made so that you can use them in your homeschool. These printables cover everything from preschool concepts to copywork. Some are free and some are paid products. All use pictures and/or text from classic Raggedy Ann and Andy books that are in the public domain. I hope they all bring some Raggedy Ann and Andy joy to your family. 🙂
