Make a Winter Story Box

Are you looking for a fun way to brighten up the cold winter days? All You Need for a Snowman by Alice Schertle and illustrated by Barbara Lavallee is a wonderful book to read aloud, and it lends itself especially well to being made into a story box.

Story boxes are a way to bring books to life for young children who are blind or visually impaired, including those with additional disabilities. Instead of relying on illustrations to support the story, story boxes use real objects and tangible symbols to help to make the meaning clear. As the story is told, children can touch and experience the items described in the story, such as a carrot, bottle caps, a scarf, mittens, walnuts, and a fanny pack. Use supervision with small items that might pose a choking hazard. Click HERE to read more.
