BACK WITH MORE BACKPACK BOOKS

Here are some other ideas with the backpack I showed you how to make yesterday. Use these in centers or for homework activities.

Letter Backpacks
Write a letter on the top and then children open and cut out pictures or write words that begin with that sound. 

                                     
Fact Books 
Staple paper inside to make a book. Children can use these for informative writing or to take notes. 

Word Families
Write a rime on the top and then children write all the words they can make inside.

Shapes
Make a shape on the front and then children cut out objects or draw things with that shape.

Numbers
Write a number on the front and then children make sets or write different ways to make that number. 
                                   
Pocket
Staple the sides and then use to hold money, poems, an object from a nature walk, and so forth.

Stories
Children draw a picture on the front and then write a story inside.

Healthy Lunch
Give children grocery store flyers and let them cut out pictures and pack a healthy lunch.

Book Report
Write the title of the book on the front and then open and draw/write their favorite part.

Environmental Print
Write “I can read” on the top. Children cut out words they can read and glue inside.
