One of the tips I picked up from forest school was how to make a story book but not in your conventional way. And this be done with little or no cost.
1. Take a piece of A3 paper cut length ways around 3 inches long.
2. Fold it in half .
3.Fold it in half again.
4. Go back in your fold till the strip of paper is concertina
5. Take an A 5 piece if card fold it in half this is your cover.
6. Stick your folded paper into your cover , you will have 8 pages to write, draw record or do what ever you want on.
7. It could also become a mini theatre for small action figures.
The only limitation is your or your child's imagination.
My story involves a squirrel who gets caught in the rain, it rains so hard that he sees a bottle floating down the road, river or where ever .. Remember it's a story so what ever you write goes.
The squirrel then spies a message in a bottle..... Cue suspenseful music.....
What's this it's not a message but a pirate map !!!!!
Then as if by magic and because it's a story an up turned Golden Acorn pirate ship sails in.
And that's where the story stops as I ran out of time ..
Can you help me finish it ?
Can you create your own story , special book , be it a pop up or picture book etc ..?
I would love to see ..
