A piece of paper to complete the winter vacation book homework

Many children have the assignment of "making a small book" during the winter and summer vacations. Wang Shufen, a retired elementary school teacher, teaches children how to make a unique "little book" with just a piece of paper.

Parents of elementary school children should be familiar with the "little book homework" that teachers often give during winter and summer vacations. But the appearance of a "little book" can only be written on A4 paper, added with lace, and then made into a cover, and done in a hurry?

Wang Shufen, a former academic director and art teacher of an elementary school and the best-selling author of the children's book series "Junwei Goes to Elementary School", has been working in the field of handmade books for many years after retirement. Combining "writing" and "handmade books" that she is good at, in "A Piece of Paper Makes a Book", she has paired up to 20 types of handmade books with writing themes that complement each other, making the small books stand out from the crowd. The bottom is always a square "uniform", and the dazzling index skyrockets.

Want to write a "My Home" book? Take advantage of the Chinese New Year to fold an "eight-frame castle book" with a roof. You can complete it in eleven simple steps using only a piece of construction paper, a pair of scissors and a colored pen. The completed castle book can be used to introduce your family, draw your favorite places in your home, and write down the features and functions of each room. (See here for how to make the eight-frame castle book)

Making books by hand is a "whole-brain" activity

Using small books to record travel experiences is also Common winter and summer vacation homework. Wang Shufen's "Ten Page Photo Book" also has a piece of drawing paper that can be folded into a small book with ten blank pages. You can paste introductions to tourist attractions during your trip, restaurant business cards, hotel concierge cards, train tickets, etc. into the photo book. With simple text descriptions and dates, it is a travel diary full of memories.

In addition, a piece of paper can also be used to make a cone book, a Christmas tree book, a twin book, a flip book, a sandwich book, a zigzag book, etc., and other small book shape changes. Each one can be tailored to the special folded shape and matched with different writing themes.
