Writ­ing and read­ing go hand in hand. Book­mak­ing activ­i­ties for chil­dren are a nat­ural fit for library pro­grams. Here are some ideas from around the web worth exploring:

Books made from paint chips at Crow Rooster Crow.

 

Scratch and Sniff Books with Jello on My Oat­meal Kisses. Touch, sight and smell all in one project. Brilliant!

Brown Paper Bag books at Bliss­fully Domes­tic: but­ton book, accor­dian book, step book and port­fo­lio book

Accor­dion Books at Bird and Lit­tle Bird

Minia­ture Center-Stitched Book by Bird and Lit­tle Bird. This one’s more com­pli­cated than the oth­ers, but my library had a very suc­cess­ful pro­gram mak­ing books this way for Grades 4–6.
