Choose the approach that you will take to create your story. For example, if you are not an artist, you may be better off choosing to find images in books, magazines or online that you can incorporate into your story as different elements, from characters to props like a firehouse or swing set. Remember that you can often enlarge images you find in a graphics program for placement on your storyboard.
Review how storyboard creators set about the task of creating individual storyboard frames. For instance, to effectively communicate a character's reaction to something that happens in your story, you may wish to have a close-up of that character's face.
Purchase the materials you will need to create your storyboard. While a movie storyboard is generally drawn in pencil, for a classroom storyboard for a preschool audience, using color will help to hold the attention of your class.
Consider adding an extra touch to your preschool storyboard. Young children are inclined to want to touch an item to better understand it, so add textured elements to your storyboard like fur on a rabbit character.
