November includes many special days, including “Children’s Book Week”. There are tons of different types of books you can make with your children. Creating a variety of books with your children makes writing much more interesting and motivational for them!
The following are different types of “books” you can make with children:
- Pop-up books
- Shape books
- Accordion books
- Envelope books
- Peek-a-Boo books
- Mini books
- Flip books
- Big books
- I use an opaque projector and butcher paper to enlarge the shape I want.
- I color the shape and laminate it.
- Finally, I cut out the shape and use it to trace blank sheets for children to write and draw on.
- Examples of big books that I have made (photos to come!):
- Big Book of Planets
- Big Book of Body Parts (trace each child on butcher paper)
- Peek-over books
- Simply glue a picture or photo on top of a folded sheet of paper.
- Theme books
- These are great for nonfiction and unit studies such as the presidential election and countries.
- Journals
Here is a list of useful resources for making books with children:
