Amazing Maze Story

Peter Chand, the aMAZing storyteller, has a story for you. An old Indian story about how elephant got his trunk. But wait! Peter isn't telling you how elephant got his trunk, he wants you to tell him! So can you take up Peter's challenge and come up with your own second part of this story?

Write down your answers, or ask your grownup to help you write them down, and share it with us. Email your answers to amazingstories@bcu.ac.uk with your first name/initials, age and the city/town/village you live before 28th November. We will publish your story here.  

As an additional activity to Peter's half story, we also invite participants to create the characters in their stories. We ask a grownup to supervise/help their youngster with these craft activities so they can create these characters together while making sure the youngsters are not hurting themselves. 

Find out how to make your sculptures at home here.
