I stumbled upon Susan Kapuscinski Gaylord's Making Books the other day. The website has a few book activities for children plus some information for parents and teachers. The Free Activities page is viewable in both English and Spanish.
I decided to try out the Accordion Book... miniaturized!
What you'll need:
* two different types of paper (use some form of recycled paper! cereal boxes, grocery bags, etc.)
* glue
* scissors (optional)
