Printables: wardrobe artwork
Every reader of this story has stepped into a closet and hoped to walk out the back of it into a snowy, mythical world. Lucy's discovery of the magical wardrobe is what gets this story rolling, and it brings her and her siblings safely back home, too. So if we’re going to do important things the characters do, we'’d better get ourselves a magic wardrobe, pronto!
Printables: booklet and frame
Remember at the end of Chapter 11, when Edmund’s stuck on that sledge with the dwarf and the witch, and all around them the snow is melting and more and more greenery is showing? Aslan's presence is causing a thaw—but no, "This is no thaw," as the dwarf says, "This is Spring!" What a transition! This project lets kids “be Aslan” for a few minutes, and turn a cold white world of despair and hate into a warm colorful one full of hope and love.
