Instructions
1. Put all of the items in a box. Make sure there are enough objects for each child to pick one.
2. Begin by helping the group pick a main character (any character will work).
3. Tell the first line of a story about that character.
4. Then, ask a child to select an item from the box. The child uses the object to tell the next line of the story.
5. Pass the box around the circle, so each child has a turn to add to the story.
6. Write each child's part on a separate sheet of paper and let her illustrate her page.
7. Assemble the pages and put the new book in the reading corner.
