I recently discovered
Show Me a Story: 40 Craft Projects and Activities to Spark Children's Storytelling by Emily K. Neuburger
. (Thanks to Anna Lewis for the recommendation in her
blog post on
I.N.K.) My copy now has a colorful array of post-it flags marking pages I want to return to. The author includes clear instructions for making story disks, story stones, traveling puppet theaters, story blocks, and other craft projects that encourage creativity. She also includes ideas for sparking imaginations and telling stories. Most of the projects can be completed with supplies that are inexpensive and easy-to-find. We decided to use fall break to make some story mats--all it took was some canvas, paint, fabric scraps, and imagination. Let's make some stories!
This is so fabulous! I'm definitely going to have to purchase a copy for my gaggle of crafting girls.
