The calendar event for Wednesday was to read a new book. Since my dolls haven't had any new books lately, I thought I'd make some!
We printed off the book covers and book paper from the freebies page, and had a lot of fun putting them together and designing them. First we cut everything out...
and then made stacks of three pages. Then we folded them in half, and made a stack of stacks! We used glue for our books.
When you fold over the cover, you'll notice that one side is a bit longer than the other. This can be left flat or folded over to help your doll hold it. But you can always cut it off if you want.
Books can be anything! We made a book for each girl, and one extra. Designing the covers and deciding what each book should be was so much fun!
You can fill your books to make them anything that you would like. A few ideas would be stickers or stamps for a picture book, drawings and stories, pictures cut out from magazines to make magazines or catalogs, a book for pressing flowers, or even a good old-fashioned fairy tale!
The possibilities are endless, and you can always stop by the library for more inspiration!
The girls had a lot of fun reading the books when they were finished. They read them to each other,
to their stuffed animals,
and even to their pets!
Have fun designing your own books, and don't forget to take the time to read them!!
