Now that Ananse has opened the box of stories - what do you think one of them was? (Maybe about some of the characters from this story? Mmoatia? Or Osebo?) Write/draw that story.

*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!
