This year I found a really cool game, story dice, online here on etsy and here at The Small Object site. This was perfect for my second grader.

A thin Micron pen (what I used on these) will bleed a little but not as much as a thin Sharpie.
The Small Object set has a page to write the story down. I thought this was a great idea. They also put each picture on the top of the page with the word below to help with spelling. We can all use help with spelling.

Great gift idea!!! Of course, I need to learn how to draw first
Hope y’all are having a wonderful holiday. We are freezing in Texas, returning to Boston tomorrow. Alexa cut her hair for Locks of Love yesterday, now she has the India-do! We’ll post pix to facebook when we get home.
Love to all in your house,
Alicia
