Last week the Literacy (English) Co-Ordinator (senior teacher) spoke to me about Story Sacks - a sack that contains a number of items that are used as prompts for making up stories. She's looked into buying some but instead emailed me . . ."
You can buy story sacks which are basically like your year group medical/ inhaler bags but much less pretty. The idea is you fill the bag with random items and pull them out to make up a random story. Of course you could use any bag but how much more exciting would it be to have one of your specials."
So now that she had the creeping out of the way, could I please make 10 Story Sacks, a bit like the medical bags that I made a while ago
So today I designed a book embroidery,
and stitched it out on bag fronts in (eventually) ten different colours
And started to make ten bags - Now I just need to stitch the cord channel
Oh, what a cool idea, I can only imagine the fab stories that will come out of them!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Benta - thinking of the lovely bag you sent me then perhaps the fabric on the outside could help identify a topic for the story - the Australian stuff was so cool. xx
ReplyDeleteOh what great fun - my kids would love these (I will not mention them to their teachers though!) x
ReplyDeleteThose look absolutely beautiful Benta! What a lovely idea - and creeping aside it is quite nice that they think of you rather than shop bought rubbish!xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea, and I'm sure the children will love the bright colours!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of story bags and these are great!
ReplyDeleteExcellent, beautifully made. Story bags are a great idea. I'm making some myself.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully made. I am making some up myself at the moment, finding and making the contents and accompanying materials.
