What is a
story sack? Besides being a great way to get ready for school, it is a fun and creative way to help kids enjoy reading! It's simply a bag or sack of some sort, which contains a story book along with related craft ideas, games, and other fun stuff. Imagine the fun of not only reading about the characters of the story but also making related puppets or other crafts, wearing a costume, and so on.
