Penguin have developed a website where children can write, illustrate (and add sounds) and publish their own stories.

We Make Stories enables young writers to select a number of different story platforms and even re-write a small section of classics such as Alice in Wonderland, Black Beauty and The Jungle Book. Lots of fun for everyone!

BuildYour Wild Self has boundless uses in a classroom from basic mouse control and making selections to using the created characters in stories. It’s made by the New York Zoo so there’s animal information there too – each animal part you add is described. You can email your work to yourself, print it or make wallpaper and then save it.
