Short Stories
There's plenty of space for creativity in these short stories. The long and short of it is, this clever activity lets kids relive summer fun while getting back in the "write" mood for school.
1. On a large piece of construction paper, use Crayola® Washable Markers and Crayola Scissors to draw and cut out a pair of shorts. Decorate the shorts in your favorite designs.
2. Cut lined paper to fit in the center of your shorts.
3. Write a short story about what you did on summer break. Younger children can dictate stories to an adult or student.
4. Glue the story on your shorts with a Crayola Glue Stick.
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.
Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.
