Project Ideas

Business

Story + Craft Workshop Events

Host paid in-person or virtual events where you read the book and lead a themed craft (diorama, puppet, bookmark). Charge per child with tiered pricing for added materials or take-home kits. Partner with libraries, bookstores, community centers, and schools for scheduled series—offer packages for birthday parties and holiday events.


Themed Subscription Box

Create a monthly subscription box centered on the book's characters and concepts. Each box includes a mini-craft kit, an exclusive short story or activity card, seeds or small gardening element tied to the series, and collectible swag (stickers, pins, mini-print). Use recurring revenue and upsell one-off special editions for Halloween or seasonal promotions.


Educator & Library Program Kits

Develop classroom-ready kits that include multiple copies or high-quality reading materials, lesson plans aligned to early literacy goals, printable worksheets, craft supplies for groups, and performance scripts. Sell directly to schools and libraries or through educational distributors. Offer a rental model for library craft supplies to reduce institutions' upfront cost.


Limited Edition Bundles and Merch

Produce limited signed/numbered editions of the book bundled with handcrafted items (e.g., hand-painted bookmark, mini puppet, small diorama). Sell via an online shop, Etsy, or pop-up markets. Create tiered merch—affordable small items (stickers) up to premium bundles (signed book + artisan craft)—to capture multiple price points.


Partnerships & Event Licensing

License artwork or characters for local businesses and seasonal events—garden centers (haunted garden displays), farms (storytime + craft stations), Halloween trails, or birthday party planners. Offer paid customizations (branded story reads, on-site craft facilitation) and white-label kits for retailers to sell alongside themed displays.

Creative

Haunted Jungle Diorama Kit

Build a tabletop diorama that brings a scene from the story to life. Use a shoebox or shadowbox, printed page art or mini-illustrations, preserved moss, faux vines, miniature animal figures, LED tea lights, and glow-in-the-dark paint to highlight 'haunted' elements. Add layered background panels for depth and a small battery LED for mood lighting. Great as a display piece, classroom project, or nightstand decoration.


Character Puppets & Mini Puppet Theater

Create felt or sock puppets of the book's main characters and a simple cardboard tabletop puppet theater. Include Velcro or button accessories so kids can change props. Adapt several short scenes from the book into a 5–10 minute script so children can perform a reading-theatre that builds comprehension and confidence.


Shadowbox Nightlight

Design a layered paper shadowbox that fits over a warm LED strip to cast jungle silhouettes on a wall. Use high-contrast cut silhouettes of trees, animals, and spooky vines inspired by illustrations. Add translucent vellum panels printed with faint text or art from a page to create a subtle story-glow—works as a comforting nightlight for young readers.


Interactive Activity Pack

Assemble a hands-on kit tied to the story: scavenger hunt cards, leaf rubbings, a simple seed-planting kit with a 'ghostly garden' label, coloring sheets, connect-the-dots maps of the jungle, and a 'mystery clue' puzzle that leads kids to re-read a particular page. Pack in a themed folder or small box for rainy-day activities or reading-group takeaways.


Pop-up Illustrated Bookmark Series

Craft a set of collectible bookmarks each featuring a pop-up element or layered paper scene from a different page of the book. Use laminated cardstock for durability, add a tassel, and include a short quote on the back. These make quick craft projects and charming add-ons for book purchases or party favors.
