Creating home-made books is a great way to pass a spare afternoon and also promote children's interest in reading. Once the basics are completed, you can help the children to fill their book with pictures, photographs, stories, stickers and whatever else takes their fancy.
Build a book
The first step is to choose the paper and card for your book. You can go for plain white pages and a simple card cover, or you can be a bit more adventurous. How about using sturdy handmade paper or textured corrugated card for the cover? How about pages in a range of pastel shades, or vibrant colours such as orange, lime green and turquoise? Children can be encouraged to choose their own colours and types of paper.
