My son is going to write a story about what life was like for Pilgrim children. I decided to make the cover of the book a “Pilgrim Peek-Over”.
Here’s how I made the cover:
- I found a Pilgrim face from my files that I liked and copied it to the size I needed. I added googly eyes and glitter paint and let dry. (You don’t have to do this step, but glittery tactile things make me giddy.)
- I folded a piece of black cardstock paper in half and glued the Pilgrim face to the top of the folded side of the black paper.
- I cut writing paper in half for my son to write his story on.
- I stapled the story to the inside of the Pilgrim’s “body”.
My son is going to use the following Web sites to help him learn about what life was like for Pilgrim children:
