Back-to-School Story Steps
Kids fall right into step with this Back-to-School activity that helps them draw and write their way into that first day. Illustrating these steps will help ease first-day jitters, too.
1. To create the story steps: Fold the top of one sheet of construction paper over about 1/3 of the way and crease. Fold a second sheet about 5/6 of the way and crease. Place the second sheet inside the first and glue with a Crayola® Glue Stick along the folds.
2. Think about all the things you do to prepare for school to start. For instance, do you start going to bed a little earlier each night, buy school supplies, pack your backpack, and finally, lay out your clothes?
3. Write and illustrate the steps you take on the flaps with Crayola Colored Pencils. You could write the words on the outside flaps and draw the picture on the inside or vice versa. Or mix it up and do a bit of both.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
