Why not use these holidays to inspire a love of reading. Activities that bring a story to life can also bring a family closer together. The Book Chook blog has a post this week full of ideas of how to do this.
Zoe Toft says she “Plays by the book” because
- it’s fun!
- it gives me a focus and outlet for my desire to be creative
- it helps me find a mutually enjoyable way of being with the kids
- it shows the kids how much I value the book
She goes on to explain ways to bring a book to life with three failsafe activities
- getting out the playmobil and make a landscape to mirror what is in the book
- using the same medium as the illustrator to do your own pictures
- baking a cake based on an image in the book
