My One-Sheet Mini Book
Fold and snip a single sheet of A4 paper to make a real eight-page book. Inside: THEIR story, illustrated page by page, with words dictated to you or "written" their own way. Add a title and author name on the cover, hold an official bedtime reading, and give it pride of place on the bookshelf.

Step by step
- Fold and snip the A4 sheet following the guide: watch a real 8-page book appear.
- Brainstorm the plot with two simple questions: "Who is it about? What happens?"
- Draw one scene per page, in order; save the cover for the very end.
- Write down what your child dictates under each picture (or let them scribble-write their own way), without fixing their grammar.
- Add a title and the AUTHOR's name on the front cover.
- Do a grand reading for the family tonight, pop it on the bookshelf, and start planning volume two!
