For Christmas this year my daughter Kiki and I tried to make most of the gifts we gave out. It was a lot of work, but so much fun. One of the gifts we made, was for a special little boy in our lives. We decided to put together a story book for him. Since the day they met Kiki and her friend Kai have bonded over rocks. They both love searching for rocks and collecting them. They often find ones that they just have to give to one another, it's too cute! So Kiki made up a story about her and Kai and a magical rock. I wrote it down and then she wrote it out and made pictures for each page. It ended up being a great activity for her to do on and off for at least a month. It not only gave her an opportunity to make a wonderful gift for someone she loves, it also gave her a chance to be creative, work on her writing skills, use descriptive language and enjoy literacy. We also made a treasure box to go along with the book, for Kai to put his rock collections in. It was a great gift that brought smiles to all our faces.
