Children ages 5 to 12 learn to design and create their own books as both author and illustrator. The activity covers bookmaking basics, planning and brainstorming, gathering materials, creating and assembling pages, adding finishing touches, and sharing completed books. Children explore pop-up, accordion, card, flip book, and cookbook formats, and leave with an original book. Developmental activation includes interdisciplinary learning, voice, and self-expression.
