BOOK CRAFT

Crafting is a wonderful way to build connections to picture books. But most of all, it’s a LOT OF FUN!

Please find below some examples of craft activities that I’ve created to dovetail with my picture books, and instructions on how to make them. I hope you, too, have a lot of fun creating them.

Please do tag me on social media if you share your creations – I’d love to see them!

Matt and I had a lot of FUN creating our Christmas Cat Crowns for you! All you need is a single sheet of A4 paper! We’ve used pencils, textas, glitter glue and pompoms to decorate ours – we’d LOVE to see how you decorate yours! Draw your own cats whiskers, or make some from pipe cleaners! If you need to make a large crown, simply cut the headband in half and join the ends together and adjust to your exact size. ENJOY!

The AMAZING peeps at Play School Story Time and Monash University have put together these fabulous resources for Wonderful Shoes – encouraging the book to be acted out and for kids to become ‘sound detectives’ – so good!!
