Making movable books with your students is a perfect way to unlock their verbal and visual ideas—and to meet your classroom goals. Participants construct a range of movable books and paper models, progressively combining them to end up with a book that might have pull-out, lift-the-flap pages, pop-up units, removable parts and more! PDP's available for teachers.
Tools to bring: scissors, ruler, glue stick, white glue, colored pencils, if desired.
