FOR PARENTS, EDUCATORS & CURIOUS KIDS
The story doesn’t have to end on the last page.
Make a little space for drawing, wondering, and talking together. These simple activities work with a favourite picture book—at home, in a classroom, or during library story time.01 · TALK TOGETHER
A story conversation
After reading, choose one or two questions:- Which part would you like to step into?
- What did the character want?
- Did anything surprise you?
- What would you ask the character?
Take turns. There’s no need to find a “perfect” answer.
02 · DRAW & IMAGINE
One more page
Fold a sheet of paper in half. On one side, draw a favourite moment from the story. On the other, draw what might happen next. Add a sentence, a speech bubble, or tell your idea aloud to someone.You’ll need paper and something to draw with.
03 · PLAN A LITTLE DREAM
From a wish to a plan
Inspired by From Pennies to Pies, draw something you’d like to work towards.- Name your goal.
- Choose one small step.
- Think of someone who could help.
- Draw what progress might look like.
A goal can be learning, making, helping, or saving.
For grown-ups guiding the fun
