For parents, teachers and carers:
I'm sure you've realised The Scared Book is much more than a fun, interactive giggle. Want to know how to get more out of your reading of The Scared Book? I've made a few short notes here:

Below are some fun activities for the kids, including downloads. I must say that from my experience, kid's love the first activity - they love drawing monsters! I think it's a free, non restrictive thing to draw - after all, what is a mistake? It's all just part of the fun! I wrote an article about it here and ran an art competition you can read about here. You could use the drawing to then move into creating writing - develop a character profile and write a story. Have fun!
For Kids:
Draw your own unique monster on some paper. What is its name? What does it like to do? I'd love to see your creations - if you send me photos of them I'll post them on this website.
