Ideas:
Find some other sticks and make the Stick family. Can you make them a Stick pet/s? Is there
somewhere in your garden or local park where the Stick family can live?
Stick Man experiences all the different seasons. Talk about the weather and the changes in nature
that we see.
Use playdough to make some of the other items from the story (Snowman, Sandcastle, a Birds nest)
and use some sticks to decorate or help make these.
