Door for Children's Book Week
By CageyBee

What about having a referee in the center of the door with his hands gesturing "Time Out!" or blowing a whistle. You could probably find one on the Internet to print. Then have all different sport balls surrounding him...soccer,
baseball, volleyball, tennis, football, etc. Each child could draw and color or paint the balls and decorate with a little glitter on the stitching of each ball. When dry, glue a folded piece of paper in the center of their illustrated ball. This could be their favorite book that they've illustrated as the cover of the paper book. The title could be "Time Out for Reading" or "Time

Out for Good Books"
PS: Pressed for time? Go to a teaching supply store and get Carson-Dellosa pads that have sports balls. Then all you have to have the children draw would be their favorite book covers.
