| Monday July 28, 2008 | Children's Favorites: Books Kids Love to Make | 10:00-4:00 |
Especially for educators and parents:
With little more than scissors and glue, you as teacher or parent, can teach students to make books to read, to view like a picture, to hold and explore like a sculpture, or to rearrange in a variety of 3D shapes. Expect to take away dozens of different book models—integrating verbal and visual images and paper technology—that make learning fun for children. PDP's available for teachers.
Tools to bring: scissors, ruler, glue stick, colored pencils, if desired.
