First, create areas in your garden that resemble the different settings from the story. Either print these from the book or recreate e.g. label different areas e.g. Fairy land.
Then in each setting have a treasure for your child to collect.
Mermaid Land - a shell
Pirate Ship - a yellow petal
Space - a small rock
Wizard Land - a twig or a stick
Fairy Land - flowers
Now go on your story walk with a bucket or container to collect your treasure.
Discuss...
Where did Jake and Holly go first? Visit this place and collect the treasure.
Why a shell?
Where did they go next?
Continue along the story trail collecting and discussing the objects.
Once all the treasure has been collected, discuss each item and where it come from and what it represents. Us e the treasure to retell the story and order the treasure.
Have Fun!!!
