​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.

Kim Siew has made some fabulously fun activity sheets for you. I've posted eight of them below for you to download:
