Teacher tip

Let kids share their tiny-world writing with a partner.

How to use it

  • Let kids keep unfinished pages in a folder to come back to.
  • Use the pages as a quiet activity for a sub day.
  • Slide it into a sheet protector so kids can play again with a dry-erase marker.

Watch for

Pages that are always too easy or too hard. Pick the grade that fits the child.

Talk about it

  • Which activity did you like best?
