Mystery writers coordinate story elements to develop surprise endings with hidden illustrations.
1.
Write an original mystery story with Crayola® Erasable Colored Pencils on lined paper.
2.
Use Crayola Scissors to cut a door or window (a closable flap) in the center of a piece of construction paper. In the margin around the flap, use colored pencils to illustrate your mystery story.
3.
Open the flap. Use Crayola School Glue to attach white paper behind the construction paper. Dry overnight.
4.
Draw the solution to your mystery on the paper behind the flap. Close it. Staple the flip-flap illustration to the front of your mystery story.
5.
Friends read the story, look at the cover illustrations, and try to figure out how the mystery is resolved before they peek behind the flap.
