I always believe that when kids can get craft materials in their hands, their creativity and imagination have a million times better chance of igniting then simply “putting on their thinking caps”. I shared over on the Sculpey blog these super simple and fun aliens using my Cosmic Cafe collection as inspiration. Encouraging kids with imaginative writing is FUN with clay.
The printable I created to go with this educational fun is another way to support creative thinking and you can get it on the Sculpey blog for free.
You can also download this story planning chart and use it with these aliens or for other story telling starters. It would be useful for students and kids to do it about themselves to support the writing of an autobiography.
There are other great Cosmic Cafe printable in my ShopLauraKelly store. Check them out HERE!
Happy creating and teaching and learning,
Laura
