Could your little one be the next Dahl, Rowling or Tolkien? Heck yes they could! We\u2019ve created this handy list of writing prompts for kids to get their creative juices flowing. Next stop: top of the bestseller list.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It might sound a little topsy-turvy, but getting kids comfortable with the tools of the writing trade (i.e. pencils) is the first step in helping them to write. So drawing pictures \u2013 like a character from their favourite book \u2013 is a perfect stepping stone to writing words.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s super helpful to switch things around when tiny hands are still getting the hang of writing. Try sticking some paper to the wall so that they\u2019re writing at a different angle. Or swap a pencil for a felt tip, piece of chalk or… inky sausage?<\/p>\n
Is your little one bamboozled by a word in a book? No problem! Help them look it up in a dictionary, then see if they can use it in a sentence. It\u2019ll be locked in their brain, never to be forgotten.<\/p>\n
Stuck for writing topics for kids? We\u2019ve got an idea. Our personalised books are packed with curious, colourful characters. But they don\u2019t all get a chance to shine. See if your little one can make one of our supporting cast \u2013 like Lost My Name\u2019s entrepreneurial aardvark \u2013 the star of their own story. (And be sure to send us the results!)<\/p>\n
What better way to tell a friend or family member how special they are than by writing them a letter, full of effusive praise? It\u2019s a gratitude-packed activity that\u2019s sure to spread some huuuge smiles.<\/p>\n
Journaling\u2019s helpful at any age, but particularly when kids are learning to write. See if your little one can summarise the best and worst parts of their day. Or take them on a walk around the neighbourhood and ask them to document what they see.Clipboards at the ready!<\/p>\n
The world\u2019s youngest published author is Dorothy Straight, born in 1958. When she was four, her mum asked her \u201cWho made the world?\u201d She made a book to answer the question, which was published in 1964 \u2013 when she was just six years old. You\u2019re never too young to start!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
