Fabric Bound Books:
Creativity Studio Drop-In Engages Guests in Creativity & Literacy Fun!
Guests who visited a Creativity Studio drop-in late last summer learned a new skill… simple book binding. We explored a number of different binding options, from basic yarn sewing to more advanced needle and thread techniques. After learning about binding their pages together, kids took the lead to personalize their books. Some children wrote stories about animals, their family, alien octopuses, a sunny day, and their visit to DCM. Others turned their books into illustrated art books, photo albums, and even a dictionary! This is a great skill building activity that fosters immense creativity and story-telling as well.
