🖍️🗺️📖World building book for creative littles! 📖🗺️🖍️

I made this book for my flatmate’s daughter but it could easily be created for a little who likes to create!

You will need:

🖍️ Semi stiff paper in any colour you like! I only had black on hand.

🖍️ White paper to write prompts on.

🖍️ A gluestick, pens and colour pencils.

🖍️ A craft knife, make sure you have supervision if you need it! You don’t want any ouchies!

🖍️ Embroidery floss to stitch it together, or staples if you prefer.

🖍️ Stickers, glitter, gel pens, anything you want to use for decorating.

🖍️ Your imagination!!

📖 To create the book, fold A4 semi stiff paper in half, it helps to do this after you have written your prompts so you know how many pages to use.

📖 Use embroidery floss, tie a knot and use a simple back stitch, up the spine of the book while making sure the pages don’t shift. Tie off the knot at the top, if you wanted to you could leave a hanging string as a bookmark, or attach a ribbon! Alternatively, you can use staples to hold it together, or a hole punch with ribbon or string, whatever you prefer!

📖 Decorate your cover! You can title it however you like.

📖 Make the white paper by folding A4 paper in half and then chopping off the edges with scissors or a craft knife. Remember to be carefu!! I took 2cm off the bottom and a rulers width off the side. This leaves the semi stiff paper as a background border.

📖 Glue the white paper in and then decorate the borders!

📖 Now it’s time to write the prompts, short and simple is best if you intend to work through the book while smol! Also use little drawings if you feel like it for you to fill in. You can write any sort of prompts or questions you like, you’re only limited by yourself! Here are some of the ones I used:

🌍 This is my world and it is named…. It looks like this….

🌍 The weather look like this

🌍 Here is a map! (I traced a circle for this one)

🌍 Here are our planets… The moon looks like this… The sun looks like this…

🌍 There are many animals on this planet, here are some of them

🌍 Here are some plants

🌍 Here is my house… Here is my favourite toy…

🌍 In this world I am a… And I look like this…

🌍 People buy things here with a special type of money, it is called… And it looks like this…

🌍 Here is a shop, it sells…

🌍 What music do your people listen to?

🌍 I am the ruler, here are my rules

🌍 Here is my crown… Here is my palace

🌍 What magical powers exist here?

🌍 Here is a dictionary of new words…

There are so many ways to customise this book to fit your interests! I hope this is helpful for anyone wanting to create their own little world 🖍️👑💕

What a wonderful idea!
