Filling Your Story Sack

By , About.com Guide

With some stories, the possibilities are endless for related crafts, games, etc. With others, you will have to get a bit more creative. Here are some ideas to help you decide what to put in the sack with the story book:

  • Supplies to make related puppets, games, props, costumes, etc.
  • A cd or tape of the story being told
  • Related coloring books or coloring pages
  • A fact book to learn more about situations or items in the story
  • A purchased game or toy that is related to the story
  • Pictures of related places or events
  • Plain paper and crayons to write or draw a story
  • Written suggestions and items to help act out the story
  • Artifacts related to the story
  • Related videos to watch

If you want to see some story sacks I have created for specific books, check out the Story Sack Idea Index. If you create your own story sack, please take a moment to submit your story sack information.
