Some things are just too darn fun! When the Minnesota Center for the Book Arts sent me their latest email with classes announced for children, I thought, "I want to be between 2 and 12 and take these classes!". They are just too darn fun to miss! Plus I'd have to be closer to them! But for ideas for book arts and kids, these classes may give one some great ideas! But then, these could be fun for adults as well! Who doesn't like a book mask or origami spiders? Well, maybe not spiders!
Halloween Mask Boooooks!
Get ready for Halloween with Littlebat's Halloween Story by Diane Mayr and by creating your own boootiful Halloween mask book – or is it a book mask? Folded papers, a stick and lots of colors and collage. A book for
stories! A mask for trick or treats! And a Halloween ghost book, too!
Spooky Stories, Creepy Creations
What do you think makes a story really scary? Is it monsters, strange sounds, or a dark and stormy night? How will you become the hero or heroine of your story? Begin by writing a funny, silly, spooky, scary story for Halloween. Visit MCBA’s studios to construct a creepy little book to put it in, then share your creation with family and friends while having some tasty Halloween treats!
Halloween Origami Party
Celebrate Halloween at MCBA's origami party! Make paper pumpkins, bats, spiders, monster heads and more! Choose from a variety of papers and colors. Folding patterns will be provided to help you create your very own creepy creatures!
Create Your Own Magical World
Explore the timeless territory of magic! First, imagine a hair-raising adventure for your hero or heroine, setting out on a magical journey to save a troubled world and encountering menacing villains and mystical beings along the way. Invent your own setting, characters and plot. Then bring your magical world to life in a handmade pop-up book!
Thanksgiving Paper Dinner
Celebrate the colors and aromas of Thanksgiving dinner by “cooking” up some paper. Start by pulling sheets of white paper, then add onion skin yellow, cabbage purple, cranberry red, orange orange, and more! Use herbs and spices, such as crumpled sage, grated cinnamon and nutmeg. Dress for mess with waterproof shoes.
If you really do want to take these classes, or check out the Minnesota Center for the book, go to www.mcba.org!
So have fun and hope this sparks some ideas for the kids in your life or the kid in you! Happy Fall and Halloween!
