Book Week Scotland is an annual celebration of books and reading. This year's Book Week theme is “Friends”,and while this post is about Creeping Toad Book Week plans, these same ideas and activities could be brought to other places! So if you are in darkest Derbyshire, hair-raising Herts, spontaneous Sussex or some such place, get in touch and we’ll see what we can do!
Nature 4 Health aims to help people connect with nature, each other and themselves. Experience the mindful benefits of green and blue space and the fascinating species we share the planet with. (N4H website)

Toad sessions could include
- storytelling
- storymaking
- turning stories into our own little Books so we build books in Book Week
- making puppets to dramatise our stories
- shadow puppets might make for even more striking storytelling
- pop-up landscapes could build stories into forms that encourage words without worrying about writing!
