Design paper airplanes. Draw your adventures or your favorite scenes from the book on them.

Where would you fly if you could? Write that story in a booklet, and illustrate it.

Make goggles to wear.

*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!
