A storytelling program that teachers and students love!
The Budsies Book Project & Curriculum
Bridge the Gap Between Imagination & Education
The step-by-step curriculum walks students through brainstorming, character design, plot structure, drafting, revising, editing, publishing, and hosting their own “Publication Party”, complete with a plush reveal day where they receive a tangible representation of their hard work.
The curriculum doesn't include the Budsies stuffed animal vouchers; those are purchased separately!

Educational Attributes of Budsies:
"As our students face challenges in reading and literacy, our teachers continue to think creatively. They understand that students learn best—and retain information more effectively—when they are engaged in meaningful, hands-on experiences." - Sonia Richard, B.S.P, MSS
Creativity & Art Skill Development: Budsies bridges the gap between imagination and reality by turning 2D drawings into 3D plushies.
Boosts STEAM Integration: Budsies can be used alongside traditional STEAM lessons. Students can design robots, rockets, or other creations and bring them to life as Budsies, reinforcing scientific and engineering concepts.
Inspires Literacy & Storytelling: Budsies can be used to spark creative writing prompts and storytelling activities. Students can build narratives around their plush companions, improving communication and language skills.
Improves Connection with Art: Budsies allows students to connect with their art on a deeper level, solidifying their understanding.
