Here are two books that are challenging to make and will encourage children to be "authors and illustrators.
Taco and Burrito Book
Materials: construction paper, white copy, scissors, glue stickDirections: Fold one sheet of paper in half. (That's your taco.) Cut off the creased edge about 1 1/2" from the top and the bottom of the fold.
Now, take 2-5 additional sheets of paper (you can vary this for the number of pages you want in your book). Fold them in half. Cut down 1 1/2” from the top and bottom of the crease.
Roll up lengthwise like a burrito and insert in the hole you cut out of the taco. Unroll, fold in half, and you’ll have a book.
Finally, take a sheet of construction paper and fold it in half. Glue all over the inside of the construction paper and then insert your book and rub.
Use this book for:
edited stories
note taking
journals
science or social studies reports
Backpack Book
Punch holes in the top of a lunch bag (which is actually the bottom of the bag). You will need to do this for the children. Put a pipe cleaner through the holes and twist to make a handle.
Lift up the flap and tuck the bottom of the bag under it.
