Can I make a book
using my thinker tray?

Instructions:

1. Provide a tray with many materials, they do not have to be toys. 

2. Give your child a paper where he/she can create different scenarios. 

3. Take 4 to 5 pictures of the different scenes created. 

4. Prompt for a logical sequence for a story. 

5. Print the pictures for the next day. 

InterACTion:

• Let’s look at the materials in our thinker tray. I wonder what they can become…

• Let’s make a story! Tell me how your story begins.

• Sounds interesting - who is part of your story?

• Where are they?

• What happens in the end?

• How do you want to record your story? (Glue the pictures on a book? Staple the pictures and add captions? Be creative!)
