A daily creative writing exercise is a great way for kids to develop their imaginations and writing abilities. That’s why I decided to create this post, featuring several story starters for kids. I’m also including some blank creative writing templates and creative writing prompts. If you’re a parent or a teacher, everything you need to get your kids started with creative writing is here. Some of the story starter sheets contain spaces for the kids to draw pictures. And if it turns out that your child is the next JK Rowling and intends to write a whole book, you’re welcome to print as many copies of these creative writing templates as you need.
