20+ Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Book Crafts and Recipes

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom is a bestselling American children’s book written by Bill Martin, Jr. and John Archambault, illustrated by Lois Ehlert, and published by Simon & Schuster in 1989. It teaches children to read and not to give up when things are hard. Children will enjoy the vibrant art, the bouncy rhymes, the repetition to this learning style.

The more they read or hear the same story over and over the more familiar the words in the story become. Many children have a favourite book that they require you to read with them, over and over again, this is likely to be one of those keepsake books.

Maybe you already have the book and are looking for ideas to extend the activity?

If you’d still like to knit up some Halloween decor this season, check out this little collection of mini Halloween knitting patterns.

Knit or Treat from Stacey Lieckfeldt (Ravelry) is a set of Halloween projects worked in super bulky yarn for extra speed. You’ll find ghosts, candy corn, a black cat pumpkin, candy corn pumpkin and accessories for the ghosts. So cute!

Or make a teensy pumpkin (or a whole garland’s worth) with this tiny pumpkin pattern from Susan B. Anderson (Ravelry). This one uses about 10 yards of sport weight yarn, so you can use all your little leftover bits to make a patch of pumpkins in all the colors.

A slightly larger pumpkin, but still plenty small, comes from Knitting Patterns Guru. It calls for DK or sport weight yarn and has options for knitting the pumpkin flat or in the round.

Make a bigger pumpkin that’s still pretty quick with this design free on Ravelry from Vanessa Ewing. These are designed to be worked with a mini skein of sock weight yarn and you can knit them by hand or with a knitting machine.

I love these little Halloween garments from Handmaine Knits. There’s a mini sweater with options to add ghosts and pumpkins, and little colorwork socks as well. Six colorwork designs are included so you can make them use the way you like. They’re the perfect additions to your Halloween tree and a great use for leftover sock yarn.

Looking for more mini ornaments? This set from Wibbly Wobbly Knits is super cute and includes a cat, ghost, pumpkin, witch hat, candy corn and candy. They call for worsted weight yarn and are worked in the round.

These funny little characters from Felicity Jane Patterns would be great for kids to play with. The set includes a witch, mummy, vampire and Frankenstein’s monster, and they’re worked on straight needles with DK weight yarn.

Or make a little pumpkin head doll like this oddly adorable one from Cute Knit Toy. The tiny button eyes might be my favorite part (but stitch the eyes if this is going to a little one!). The pattern is worked in the round and uses sock yarn.
