Materials
- Music
- Paper
- Coloring tools
- Staples/tape (Optional for securing book binding)
Activity (Procedure):
* Before the activity, get a few sheets of blank paper, fold in half to create your child’s soon-to-be book.
- Ask your child to go find their very favorite stuffy.
(If they can’t pick just one, a few stuffies would be just fine for this activity)
- Now show your child their blank book. Tell them they’re going to be creating their very own adventure book: all about their stuffy (stuffies).
- Give your child time to draw in their pictures.
- Ask your child to tell you what is happening on each page (dictation). Write down exactly (word-for-word) what they say (transcription).
- Give the book a Title. Don’t forget to write the author's name!
Activity Wrap Up:
Read through your child’s story together. Maybe even a few times! Praise them for their work.
How do I know what my child is learning? (Assessment)
- Did my child draw pictures for his or her story?
- Did my child use their vocabulary to voice their story to you?
- Was my child proud of his or her work?
