Sprinkles O'Shivers and the Other Leprechauns

Looking for a fun, festive nod at Saint Paddy's Day that's also pretty easy?



Walmart carries packages of 16-page blank books that are ready for creating stories. Kids love to write "real" books. I purchased a stack of these a while back and for this project gave each kid a blank book and a sheet of leprechaun stickers. The objective was to write/create a picture book using the stickers as inspiration and aid in illustration. 

Of course, you don't want to put things in official book form until the plot, grammar, spelling, and punctuation are perfect, so this project lends itself perfectly to learning to work through drafts and proofreading.

For extra fun, use something like this leprechaun name chart my son found while looking for "authentic" names for his story.
