Open It Up! Winter Story Crafts
A snowman, a snow globe and a hot cocoa mug that open like doors to show the writing hidden inside, plus a bonus mitten. Three writing levels so every child can finish.
How it works
Every craft is built the same way, so once your learner makes one, they can make all four.
Plan with pictures
A planning page asks four simple questions. Drawings count as answers.
Write on the hidden page
The story page is shaped like the craft, with wide lines and a starter or First, Next, Then, Last.
Color, cut and open it up
The cover cuts in half to make two doors. Glue the edges and the story is hiding inside.
What's inside
Using it
Go at your learner's pace, one step or one page at a time. Read the grown-up guide once and you're ready, no teaching background needed.
Run it as an intervention, a small group or independent practice. It prints clean on the school copier.
Questions
Which grades is this for?
Kindergarten to 3rd grade. Level A is for K and 1st, Level B for 1st to 3rd, and Level C for confident writers in 2nd and 3rd.
Is it about Christmas?
No. Every craft is winter themed, so it works in any classroom from December through February.
What kind of writing is it?
Three crafts are stories. The hot cocoa mug is how-to writing, so kids practice telling steps in order.
Do I need special paper?
No. Printer paper works. Cardstock for the cover makes the doors a little sturdier.
Is the mitten the same as the free mitten?
Yes. The free Mitten craft is included here so the whole winter set is in one place.
How do I get my files?
Right after checkout you'll see download buttons, and we email you a link too. Everything is saved in My Library to re-download anytime.
Will it print in black and white?
Yes. Every page is designed to print clean in black and white on a home printer or a school copier.
Can I use it with a whole class?
Yes. One purchase covers one classroom or one family. Buying for several teachers or a whole school? See school licenses.
What if I have a problem or a question?
Because these are instant digital downloads, all sales are final. If something isn't working the way you hoped, or you have any question at all, email hello@wiggle-wise.com and we'll help.
