Fairy Tale Children’s Book CRAFT for Kids| DIY the Jolly Postman Book

Hey guys, Shawn here for another Two Minute Tip Tuesday, and today's Two Minute Tip is for kids. If you are interested in learning how to make your own children's book at home, keep watching. A fun activity to do with your children is to have them make their own very simple children's book, and so I thought I would show you an example of something I did in high school, and I am not an artist by any means, but I had a lot of fun, so much fun with this project that I have kept it through the years, and so it's just a simple children's book made out of a folder, just a regular like file folder, and you use staples to whole bunch things together, and you just need some glue and some construction paper and markers, crayons, or colored pencils, anything you want to make it out of, but you put your title on the front of the file folder, and this is called The Roly-Poly Postman's Delivery, and this book is all about a postman who delivers letters to princesses, and when I was a kid, I had a really great fairy tale book that I loved, so that's where it came from. This one is to Briar Rose, so you just get some construction paper and make a simple envelope out of it, cutting a triangle in two pieces and using some staples and some glue, and then you put your address of where you think your fairy tale lives and who it's from, and this one, I made a cute little rose on the outside of it for Briar Rose, and it says, Dear Briar Rose, I would like to introduce you to a new product. It is a non-sleeping pill. It will help keep you awake for 100 years. It works much better than coffee. I call it the Wonder Worker. Sample enclosed inside packet, yours truly, new products. So this is just a product offered to Briar Rose. If you remember, she slept for 100 years, so there's that one, and you can do a lot of different fairy tales. So this video is going to go a little bit over two minutes. You can stop here and put together your own storybook, or you can keep listening as I read the story for you all. The Roly-Poly Postman's Delivery. The Roly-Poly Postman walked to the house of Briar Rose and the prince. This was the first letter he was having to deliver today. He knocked on the door and gave the letter to the butler. The butler gave him the penny for his good services, and he was on his way to deliver the next letter. Here's Briar Rose's letter, and then we already read the letter that was on the inside. The next letter said it was to be delivered to the three pigs. He walked through the woods over a hill, swam through a swamp, and arrived at the three little pigs' house. He knocked on the door. Three little heads poked out and said, who's there? The Roly-Poly Postman answered, it is I, the postman, with a letter. The pigs said, thank you, and closed the door. All right, so this letter is from Big Bad Wolf. 16 Ham Street, the woods. To the three little pigs, Brick House, the clearing. And this letter says, oh, it's a lunch menu. Lunch menu, roasted pigs topped with gravy, jello. To the three little pigs, what birthday party? When? March 16th, 2 to 3 p.m. From Big Bad Wolf. Uh-oh. The next letter was addressed to Belle. Belle was so sweet. The Roly-Poly Postman liked delivering letters to Belle and saying hi to Chip. As he walked up to the door, he noticed the house was quiet. Everybody must be asleep, he thought. So he left the letter on the doorstop. It's from We Remove Thorns. Thornbash Road, Belle, Rose Drive, the castle. Let's see what this letter says. Dear Mrs. Beast, when I heard you had roses, I knew my product was what you needed. My product is called Thorn Remover. You simply rub the cream onto the thorn in your finger and within three days it will be gone. Please fill out the form attached to this letter and mail it back from the envelope provided. Compliments of We Remove Thorns. There's the little form and the included extra envelope. All right, let's see where the postman is going to next. The next letter was addressed to Cinderella. He loved Cinderella like his own daughter. He skipped up to the door. Two mice opened it. The Roly-Poly Postman gave them each a slice of cheese, said goodbye, and went to deliver a letter to a mermaid. Insurance, 16 Shore Drive, Cinderella, 16 Pumpkin Road, a castle. Let's see. Oh no, this one is missing the letter on the inside, but I remember it had some sort of like a slipper or a shoe on the inside and I've lost the insert to that one. All right, let's keep going. He rented a boat and when he reached the middle of the ocean, he dropped the letter into the water. A hand quickly threw him a shell that disappeared. He caught the shell, stuck it in his pocket with the penny, and sailed to England. The Little Mermaid, Triton Palace. All right, let's see what this one says. Catalog for magic potions. They will work. Order now. Special offer $29.99. Supplies limited. Human potion, frog potion, love potion, and silly potion. When he reached England, he delivered a letter to the mouth of one of the 101 Dalmatians. The puppy, Lucky I think, gave him a spot for his good services. There's the spot. This one is from Houses, 68 Wood Drive, 101 Dalmatians, 12 Spotted Lane. Let's see what this letter says. I can get it out. Dear Dalmatians, are you tired of looking at the same old spotted house? Do you need to get away from a wicked woman? The answers to your problems are simple. Move. I have sent you some pictures of our beautiful houses. If you would like to buy one or 101 houses, please call me at 1-800-H-O-U-S-E. The last letter was to be delivered to India. The roly-poly postman sailed to India and delivered the letter personally to Aladdin. Abu handed him a coin, then he sailed back home. It's from the all-impressive genie in Florida and Prince Aladdin at the passal. The passal? The palace. All right, this letter says, well, there's a lot of stuff in this one. Dear Al, just wanted to let you know that I'm living in Florida. It sure is hot. Enclosed are pictures of the beach resort I own and some plane tickets. Come visit me. Have fun. Love the genie. P.S. Also enclosed is a picture of my new girlfriend. All right, so we've got some plane tickets here and we've got some house and a picture of a condo. Oh, here's his girlfriend. Is that Jim or Barbie? Yeah, so that's from the genie. And then the last page says, this concludes the roly-poly postman's delivery. So this was my book from, I did this in high school, middle school, high school. I'm thinking high school. So thanks for letting me read my book that I've kept over the years to you.
