With adult help, children can create their own books, even children still learning to read. In this two-hour workshop for a parent and child pair, participants make their own books. Materials to make the book will be provided. Two overlapping methods are used to create these books. First, children can use other books as models, for example, children can substitute themselves and their families for the characters in the books. Second, children can write books based on their own experiences. The role of adults will vary depending on the children, but children will always have a role in creating the books, even if it is limited to drawing.
Aims
- Learn methods for you and your child to create your own simple children’s books
- Create one or more picture books that you can bring home to read and otherwise enjoy
- Enjoy a fun and interactive activity with your child and the rest of the participants
