Making Books with Kids: 25 paper projects to fold, sew and draw
Today I’m a lucky duck as I get to do two things I love the most, read books and make books.
Today’s treasure of a find is Making Books with Kids: 25 Paper Projects to fold, sew, paste,pop, and draw by Esther K Smith. Esther wrote one of my all time favorite “crafting” books called Magic Books and Paper Toys.” My word this family had hours of enjoyment out of that one. It’s still in a prominent place on my bookshelf.
Making Books with Kids doesn’t disappoint……This book is so well done! With more than 25 kid-friendly projects including book design, POP-UP BOOKS, book-binding, illustrations to go along with your stories, and end decorating papers, Making Books with Kids will bring hours upon hours of enjoyment to the entire family, classroom, library afternoon.
Making Books with Kids uses bright colors, really easy to follow instructions, no let me rephrase that, illustrated step-by-step instructions that guide reader and adult alike through the creation of beautiful books.
There are loads of examples. Some by kids and others by very well known book artists. Is what becomes very clear is that each book becomes the vision of the maker. Each one unique unto itself. This book greatly encourages each person to create in their own individual style.
This book is a great way to spend an afternoon and equally perfect for classroom use to enhance your academic curriculum.
