Kids activity · Drawing and storytelling · Useful disagreement

Imagine a paper fox in a place you invent. This is a make-believe paper activity; you can use drawings, spoken words, or writing.

Invent two friendly characters who want different shapes for the same imaginary house.

  1. Divide the page into three roomy boxes.
  2. Show a beginning, a small surprise, and an ending.
  3. Let one shape appear in all three pictures.

Use ordinary paper and a pencil or another familiar drawing tool. Stay where you are comfortable. You do not need to go outside, collect objects, send a message, or share personal details.

Try a question

What did your character notice that it had not noticed at the beginning?

Younger readers can ask a trusted grown-up to read the instructions with them. There is no score and no need for your picture to look like anyone else’s.
