Step inside the story

Tizzy has a problem...

Tizzy wants to make Gran something really special for Christmas. Socks? Too tricky. Toffee? Gran has very few teeth - and Yumyum is fairly sure we’d eat it all anyway.

So off we go through Jumblewood, looking, wondering and waiting for the right idea to appear. And when a little Christmas magic finally catches Tizzy’s eye, it might just lead us to a gift made with far more than ribbon, card and sparkle.

What would you make for someone you love?

What is inside the book?
The book combines an illustrated Jumblewood Christmas story with colouring, simple activities, things to notice and explore, and a practical Make inspired by Tizzy’s adventure.

What do we make?
Together we can make our own Jumblewood Christmas Tree Star, inspired by the special gift Tizzy creates for Gran. Children can colour and decorate their star in their own way, then add a ribbon so it can be hung, kept or given to someone special.

Will my child need help with the Make?
Yes. The Christmas Tree Star is designed to be something we make together. A grown-up should help with cutting, folding and any small craft materials, while children can enjoy choosing colours, decorating and making their star their own.

Is it just a Christmas story?
Christmas gives Tizzy’s adventure its sparkle, but the story is really about thinking of someone we love, finding a thoughtful idea and discovering that something we make ourselves can be very special indeed.

Can we enjoy the book away from a screen?
Absolutely. Tizzy’s Special Christmas Tree Star is a printed story-and-activity adventure designed for sharing, colouring, talking, making and spending a little time together away from a screen.
