A patron at Peninsula told me about this book yesterday. I just read it. It's really cute! It's about two kids who have done everything and are so bored. Finally, they decide to do....nothing! But nothing always turns into something. There's a lot of fun illustrations that shows them using their imagination. It would make a fun read-a-loud and I'm sure would get the kids laughing. It's also easy to relate to.
Another idea I just had would be to do a remake of Stone Soup, one of my favorite tales. While there are many good picture books illustrating the tale, it would be fun to do on our own, with the kids acting out. One idea would be to have a big pot and cut-outs of ingredients that each kid could drop in. They can then come up with their own ingredients, using their imagination. Or, maybe make a flannel board and do it that way. It could also be a good memory exercise, to have everyone reiterate what each kid put in before putting in their own. Hopefully I'll get to try it one day!
