| Craft ideas: |
| • |
Make a family tree by cutting out a tree shape, and using each branch to draw and describe a family member. How are they each important to the family?

Have you ever run away? Draw a picture of what you did. If not, draw what you think Francis did under the table while running away.

*Note: These craft ideas are just suggestions.
You can use them, but you don't have to use them.
You can expand upon them, or add your own twist.
Remember, though, that the focus of your time should
not be on the development and execution of a craft;
the focus should be on the read-aloud and the
enjoyment of the book!
