Here’s what you’ll need:
- Construction paper (at least six sheets in a variety of colors)
- Markers, crayons, or colored pencils
- Tape
Here’s what you do:
- On a piece of construction paper, help your child write down the name of one of his favorite books. Let him illustrate the paper to match the title of the book.
- Repeat this activity (at least six times), using the names of other books that your child likes.
- After several pieces of construction paper are decorated with the titles of your child’s favorite books, tape the pieces of paper together to form a paper quilt.
Picture book suggestion:
