Inspired by ‘My Friend Fred’ written by Frances Watts & illustrated by A. Yi.

1. Mix 1 part burnt sienna and 1 part white acrylic paint together to create light brown. Paint the wooden dog and feet. Allow to dry. Assemble your dog holder. For permanent assembly, use glue. 4. Cut a strip of blue felt 1cm wide and 10cm long. Attach a jump ring to the felt, then attach the other jump ring and tag to it. 7. Paint your coasters white on both sides. Allow to dry.

2. Create a dog tag by cutting a circle 3cm in diameter from embossing foil. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors. Emboss the name ‘Fred’ into the tag using a scratch board tool. 5. Use a glue dot at the back of your wooden dog to attach the collar. 8. Using a pencil, sketch out your favourite parts of ‘My Friend Fred’ onto each of the coasters.

3. Pierce a small hole into the top of the tag using a hobby knife. Adult supervision is recommended when using a hobby knife. Thread a jump ring

through the hole.

6. Use a glue dot to stick a wiggle eye onto your dog. Add a face

using a permanent marker.

9. Colour in each of the coasters using permanent markers. Allow to dry. Your Interactive Story is now ready to go on display!
