Bookmaking With Kids

Part of a series of posts about the professional-development workshops in our Summer Camp 2009.

When kids pool ideas and artwork, the result is books with lots of added smarts and sizzle. Participants work together on Susie’s favorite books: a colorful accordion collage, a flexagon calendar, a kid-friendly version of the surrealist Exquisite Corpse book, a goofy Face Book in which characters appear to talk with pop-open mouths, rubber-band books and more. You’ll also pick up valuable teaching tips so you can pull off these projects in a busy classroom. Suggested for teachers of Grades 3 & up.

This workshop takes place on Monday June 22nd, from 9 a.m.–1 p.m., in Meeting Room B at the Redwood Shores Public Library. Click here and scroll down to read about instructor Susie Peyton.
