There are some ideas and questions to help you start to imagine what your Alien👽 might look like. On the next pages are a collection of Stories for you to enjoy. All about different Aliens. When you are ready add a response to the activity. On page 1, using the eraser and your imagination create your own alien👽. Don't forget to change the size of the eraser to get different effects and details on your alien👽. You can go to the page view and tap on the 3dots to duplicate the page if you would like to create a few different aliens. Use the mic to record yourself explaining some details about you Alien👽. How does your Alien travel? Do they walk, crawl, fly? What does your Alien eat? Is your Alien scared of anything?
