Name letters will correspond with simple booklet form folded projects that each student creates using counting, numbers, and colors in pagination sequence. Formats include: french fold, accordion, gate-fold. Brief overview of types of papers with tactile samples.

Teacher or guardian present in this setting.

Ideal for pre-schools, daycares, and afterschool programs.

Students are presented with various book formats such as paperback and hardback examples. Basic overview of types of paper with tangible examples (coated, uncoated textures.) Basic Parts of the Book are demonstrated providing tangible examples. Brief discussion "Who Loves Books?," "Our Favorite Books," "Where Do Books Come From?" culminating in "Let's Make A Book Today!"

Students each choose between two themes and create both simple folded and bound booklets. Formats include: french fold, accordion, gate-fold, simple side-sewn, origami.

Participants create a portfolio to transport their books.

Ideal for schools and enrichment programs.

In greater depth corresponding to grade level, students learn Parts of the Book, format and binding styles, create content selecting from two themes, and create both folded, stapled, and sewn mini-booklets. Greater overview of types of paper with tangible examples (coated, uncoated, grain, textured paper samples, and paper sources.)  

Students participating in 3-hour session also design and create their "clam shell" case for storing and transporting their projects.

Ideal for schools, camps, enrichment programs, and clubs (Girl/Boy Scouts).
