My kids love all things Mario and Nintendo, as I have mentioned many, many times before.
It's why we have a Mario climbing wall and have made Mario sensory bottles.
It's even why I've made Yoshi and Super Famicon birthday cakes, which reminds me that I still haven't shared the tutorials for them yet...
Writing, on the other hand, is a big struggle for one of my boys. So I'm hoping that these Mario themed writing prompts for kids are enough to encourage and inspire him to do a little bit more writing each day.
