Lesson 3 - Create

The Grown-Up Scoop

Crafts are a great way to explore a book in a hands-on and creative way. For Last Stop on Market Street, we invite you to create your own bus and the city surrounding it. While your child(ren) craft, it’s a perfect time to spark a conversation with them. Find example conversation starters below!
