Story Sack Index
A great way to get kids of all ages more interested in reading!

By Sherri Osborn, About.com

Hmm, what's a story sack? 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.

Below, you will find ideas for several story sacks. Create your own story sack using my suggestions or make one for your child's favorite story. The age suggestions included are just a guideline. Keep your child's abilities, likes, and dislikes in mind when creating a story sack. (Find more details about story sacks here.)
