Baggie Books

This is a great idea I used as a school teacher. Take 4-5 zipper sandwich baggies and staple them together on the seam side, not the zipper side. Then use this as a book. You can make a cover with some paper or not. Go outside and find treasures to slip into each bag. Or go around the house and find treasures. Things to include can be leaves, bugs (preferably dead), small toys, pictures, or anything else you can find that will fit in the baggie. If you want, you can use small address labels to label each picture to encourage reading recognition. The sky is the limit with this activity. This is a great one to do once a week and make a new book each time. (But don't keep the bugs too long, they may smell!)
