This month’s reading kit is based on The Borrowers, and I’m happy to say there were so many options for things to include that I had trouble holding myself back! I knew Arrietty’s iconic cherry tree needed to be featured, along with the tiny scissors. But then I started finding so many borrower-like mini things that the list got SUPER long. I trimmed the kit down to 6 items, but don’t worry—I planned another mini-item themed post for next week!
What items would I include in a Borrower’s reading kit? I’m so glad you asked…
Sip this tea while imagining you’re under Arrietty’s favorite cherry tree.
And of course you’ll need a tiny tea set to brew it in.
This necklace is the latest in Borrower fashion.
Thimble or soup pot? Depends on how big you are.
Write all about your adventures in Arrietty’s treasured journal.
Get this wee copy of The Borrowers for your very own library.
I’ve never actually read the Borrowers, but this is such a cute idea. I think any kid would be delighted to receive a reading kit to accompany a good book. Nice job!
Thanks! I got really into it. I think I spent an hour on Pinterest going “OMG THEY MAKE TINY BOOKS! AND SPOOLS OF THREAD! AND CARRIAGES! AND ITTY BITTY HOUSES FROM HOLLOWED OUT TREE STUMPS!”
I almost didn’t get the post finished on time because I couldn’t decide what to keep in it. XD
Awwwwww! I love the borrowers! And mini things. As a kid, I used to wish little people would live in my dollhouse. I absolutely love Miyazaki’s Secret World of Arietty. ^ ^ So excited about these menus!

I used to wish little people lived in my house too! I used to put things like rubber balls and paperclips behind the furniture in our house and come back the next day to see if anyone had taken them. ^.^
