Ideas for using "PeKay's Little Author"
Toddlers and Preschool Children
Create a storybook with the whole family.
Have your child tell the story and help type in the words.
Play make-believe in the storybook with PeKay and friends.
Creating and saving the storybook from time to time could be a wonderful record of child development through the ages.
From the Parents
If your child tends to skip a certain number when learning to count, create a storybook with that number as the theme. When a new member of the family is coming soon, tell your child about their new younger brother or sister through a storybook. Help your child learn to say or read their favorite things through a storybook made just for them. Of course, watching and helping your child create their own storybook and to see a big smile in sense of accomplishment and pride is the best part of this experience.
Elementary School Children
Pick a common theme among friends, create, then share and exchange the storybook.
It would make a great gift for Mother's Day, Father's Day and so on.
For Family and Friends
When your child receives a birthday present, or family and friends gather for the child's birthday party, wouldn't it be special to send a storybook as a thank you note from the child?
For School and Workshop Teachers
Teach the children how to create a picture storybook.
This could be part of a literature class, art class or some fun workshop. It could be a fun and powerful tool for teaching English as a second language.
Because it is so easy to try different things, it's a great tool to help children learn to create and structure their own story.
After they are done, have them present it in front of the group.
They will enjoy the fun and pride of creating and sharing their original storybook.
(This is PC version.)
For Grand Parents
What Grand Parents would not enjoy receiving an original storybook from their Grand Children?
It would make a perfect gift to send an on-line storybook or the real printed storybook.
A Message for Special Someone
It's not just for children. Adults can enjoy making a storybook as well.
It could be a thank you note, birthday card, anniversary card, congratulations note, get-well card, or a love letter. You can send a heart-warming original storybook just for the special occasion.
These are just some examples.
Your imagination is the limit for your beautiful one-of-a-kind storybook.
