This is one of those really fun projects using items from around the home and yard to create a magical little world, ripe with stories to be told. Inspired by Emily Neuburger's "Storytelling Jars" from her super creative book "Show Me a Story", students used colorful scrap fabric and paper, sticks, tiny magazine images, odd beads and tiny stones to assemble a little scene within the jar. Items can be taken out and re-arranged or new items can be added to set the stage for new stories to be told. Parents: this is a perfect rainy day activity to chase the doldrums away!
