Kids Bookmaking: NEFLIN workshops in Orange Park and Gainesville

Posted Tuesday, March 30, 2010 by Patricia Morris, Library Staff

KIDS BOOKMAKING – two dates and locations

This workshop will cover everything you need to know to make books with children and young adults. You’ll make nine different small book forms, including binding the handouts into a book.  Learn to promote literacy for kids or teens by encouraging them to make, write or i

llustrate their own books.  Fun projects for using the books, developed by classroom teachers will be suggested.  The emphasis will be on making books with inexpensive tools and fun, interesting, and recycled materials. You’ll go home with:

  • Japanese binding
  • Glue-free quick books
  • French fold books
  • ‘Burrito’ books
  • Accordion books
  • Flag books
  • Caterpillar books
  • Other forms of sculptural books

Bring scissors and a one-hole punch.
