Free book templates kids can make

Susan Kapuscinski Gaylord is a teacher and author who’s put together a wonderful set of free templates with instructions that kids can use to make booklets out of recycled materials like paper, index cards, rubber bands, and sticks. There are nine templates on the website, and they go beyond the usual folder paper booklet we all probably made at some point in childhood. There are step books (like the one pictured here), accordion books, books that fold out into sections and more.

The instructions are written for kids to follow themselves (with notes about when they will need help from an adult). Many of them have some history about where that type of book originated in the world and what it was used for. The site is a really cool resource for parents and kids alike!
