On the other side!

While walking through a forest you see a tree with a door? Draw what you find on the other side.

What extraordinary (or ordinary) creatures live on the other side?
What kind of dwellings do they live in?
What special plants grow on the other side?

Draw this new world down to its tiniest detail.

Teacher / Parent tip: At 100 Story Building, we encourage visual planning of stories by children. We find that its easier for young writers to draw out their creative ideas than put them directly into words. You can extend this activity by asking your child / student to put the picture into words next.

This creative activity helps children with world design. It gives them the opportunity to fill their story world with rich details before putting it into words.

Send us your drawings at info@100storybuilding or share them on social media with #100SBStoryMakers.

Things you need for this activity

• A pen / pencil and a paper

• And your imagination!

Follow our #100SBStoryMakers series on social media for activities to get children creating characters, building stories, making up new words and giving lateral thinking a go!
