Native American Picture Story
This project was inspired by Leni Lenape story telling. It encourages children to tell their own stories through pictographs, or picture writing.
1. To make your stand-up adventure story book, use Crayola® Scissors to cut a piece of tan construction paper in half lengthwise. Fold the left side of one piece in to the middle, then fold the remaining part of the paper behind the first fold, accordion style.
2. Peel wrappers from Crayola Twistables Crayons. Place textured objects such as mats or corrugated cardboard under the pages of your book where you want texture. Rub with the sides of peeled crayons.
3. Use an authentic Native American symbol guide or create your own symbols. Use the Crayons and Crayola Colored Pencils to create designs that tell a story.
4. Tie ribbon or raffia in a bow to close the book for a picturesque look.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.
String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.
