Lesson 2: Story Quilt Project
Handout 7

Story Quilt Project

  1. The empty cereal box will be the bed. Cover the edges with ribbon, lace fabric scraps or crepe paper to make a dust ruffle.

  2. Cover the top of the bed with white construction paper. This will be the bottom sheet.

  3. Construct a pillow out of paper and lightly stuff it with a tissue. Glue it at the head of the bed.

  4. Make your face out of construction paper and decorate with markers. Add yarn hair. Glue on to the pillow.

  5. Measure a white piece of construction paper to cover the top of the bed but not the face and pillow. This will be the top sheet.

  6. Fold the top sheet in to six equal boxes.

  7. Choose one of the stories to sequence on the top sheet with numbers, pictures, and captions in complete sentences.

  8. Glue the sequence sheet on to the bed top.

  9. The Story Quilt Project will be completed in the next lesson.
