Creative Writing for Kids



Check out these fun fairy themed books to encourage creative writing for kids.

These books feature a fun painting of a fairy in a woodsy area with flowers.

The fairy is holding something. Is it a magic wand, a branch, perhaps a gift?

Why is the fairy in the forest? Does the fairy live there, or just visiting?

Why is the mushroom so large? What is it used for?

Who lives behind that little door at the bottom of the tree? Wait, there are stairs that lead up to another door. Is that a second story to the house, or perhaps an apartment since it has it own outside set of stairs?

These questions can be used to help spark your child's creativity. Are there other questions that you can think of?

Young children may write or dictate simple sentences. Each statement can be written on a new page. The picture is there for added inspiration on each page.

An older child can write chapters for a longer story. Multiple sentences can be written on a page and continued on to make a chapter, and even multiple chapters for a longer story.

As you can see, this fun book can provide great opportunities for a variety of creative writing and reading opportunities for a variety of ages. It would make a fun gift for any child.

Fairy Stories: A Creative Story Writing Journal for Kids shows the fairy picture on every page and is purchased on Amazon:

This version, My Imagination Story Book, is spiral bound; the book can lay flat when open. It has more lines for writing on but does not have the fairy picture on each page. You can however select the type of lines you would like printed in this book. My Imagination Story Book can be personalized with the child's name on the cover, and is purchased on Zazzle.
The Little Fairy and Her Imagination is the story that I created using this fun fairy picture! The questions posed above are answered in this fun, imaginative book. Click on the text link to purchase on Amazon:


One of the creative writing books along with a copy of The Little Fairy and Her Imagination makes a wonderful gift set! Children can read the story that I created and also create their own!

Thank you for your support of the arts and creativity.
