As featured on Pete's April 30th storytime, here are five activities you can do with only a paper and a pen!

1. Make a map -- it can be of a real place, or an imaginary one! Pete's map is imaginary.

2. Make a paper airplane! Here are some good directions for a simple design.

3. Write a poem! The great things about poems is they do not have to make sense. Below is the poem Pete wrote (which does not make sense, although it is an acrostic).

4. Play Tic-Tac-Toe! This does require a partner.

5. Write a letter! Again, this can be to a real person or an imaginary one.
