Upcycled story magnets- what a great idea!  Old or torn picture books and old Sabbath school papers are excellent sources for pictures.  This is a great way to occupy little ones while you are working with older children.    Ask a child to arrange the pictures to suit them and then tell you a story- you’ve just worked on  some great literacy/pre-writing/early composition skills.  Fun!
