Based on my shared writing activity, I have made a zigzag style book. Created in Publisher on an A3 format, the page can be folded (and glued) in half horizontally and then folded to make the zigzags. Children can complete the missing words and draw a picture of their animal. They can then stick a post-it note over the picture or draw a picture of a box and sellotape it over the top to make the flap. Would be interesting to have flaps opening from different directions or different shapes!
