Every great author starts with an idea, and the Junior Author Kit gives kids everything they need to turn that idea into a story they can write, illustrate, and proudly call their own!
 
Designed to make storytelling fun, hands-on, and approachable, this kit walks young writers through the creative process from their very first idea all the way to their finished, “published” book.
 
What’s Included
Each Junior Author Kit includes:
-14-page guided workbook: Step-by-step activities help kids brainstorm characters, settings, problems, solutions, plot ideas, and more before putting their story together. The workbook also guides them through illustrating and preparing their final book.
-Spiral-bound notebook: Perfect for brainstorming, practicing, jotting down ideas, and drafting.
-Blank-bound book: This is where your junior author creates their final story, complete with their own writing and illustrations.
-Pack of colored pencils
-Fine-tip marker: Great for adding details, outlining illustrations, or giving their finished pages that extra author touch.
-Pencil

-Supply bag: Keeps all of their writing and illustrating supplies together and ready for their next creative adventure.
 
The guided workbook is coil-bound, and all supplies are packaged together and shipped directly to you. Shipping is included in the total price, so there are no surprise shipping costs at checkout.
 
Choose Your Story Adventure!
Kids can choose from 11 different story themes/genres, making it easy to create a book based on the things they love:
-Fantasy
-Mystery
-Robot
-Underwater Adventure
-Outer Space
-Dinosaur
-Sports
-Superhero
-Super Silly

Each theme gives kids a fun starting point for their imagination while still leaving plenty of room for them to create a story that is completely their own. And they can re-use many of the supplies to write multiple stories in the future! Each different theme includes pages with character ideas, plot lines, settings, and more to get their creative wheels turning. 
 
More Than a Craft Kit
The Junior Author Kit isn't just about making a book. It's an opportunity for kids to practice creative writing, sequencing, problem-solving, storytelling, decision-making, and self-expression while having something tangible to show for all their hard work.
 
There's something pretty special about watching a child hold a finished book and realize: “I made this. I'm an author and illustrator!”
 
Whether they're writing about a daring dinosaur, solving a mysterious case, exploring outer space, saving the day as a superhero, or creating the silliest story imaginable, the Junior Author Kit gives young storytellers the tools and encouragement to bring their ideas to life.
 
Perfect for aspiring authors, homeschoolers, classrooms, summer activities, rainy-day creativity, gifts, and kids who simply love to make up stories.
