Pretend parties around here usually include plastic food, toys wrapped in blankets, and as many guest- real and imagined as we can rustle up. Real balloons are always welcome too!<br /><br /> Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07189228866239286310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813401571399214066.post-38305077512242309492013-02-11T11:43:48.909-05:002013-02-11T11:43:48.909-05:00Sue- It was super easy.

And, if these wear out, we can always make new ones with new pictures and new ideas to explore!Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07189228866239286310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813401571399214066.post-51816880039797313362013-02-11T11:42:41.987-05:002013-02-11T11:42:41.987-05:00Val-- The store bought story cubes were much fanc...Val-- The store bought story cubes were much fancier but the home made ones are more fun! I think we will use them like you did- pull them out occasionally. If we use them too much I think they will stop being fun and motivating. Novelty seems to be so important in motivating children.<br /><br />Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07189228866239286310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813401571399214066.post-2549597384994865362013-02-07T21:16:20.488-05:002013-02-07T21:16:20.488-05:00Hi Kari,

Unlike you, I never thought of making our own. What a great idea!Sue Elvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04461161335483760142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813401571399214066.post-54829792194095635632013-02-05T15:00:29.382-05:002013-02-05T15:00:29.382-05:00I had no idea they sold these in the bookstores. ...I had no idea they sold these in the bookstores. I have a "Writer's Workshop" file folder and this is one of the ideas inside. I have had my 3rd graders make their own, like you, and I have xeroxed pages that were teacher material manufactured in the past. I found that my kids really enjoyed the novelty of using these. I often got them out for kiddos that were "stuck" and could not come up with a writing prompt for their Writer's Journals.<br /><br />Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17633704862629969672noreply@blogger.com
