SANT JORDI

MAKE A SQUARE FOLD- IN BOOK

This is a great first book making project for kids because it is super easy to make and you don't have to make the binding for it. All you have to do is cut 2 rectangle pieces of paper...both the same size. Then criss-cross them like you see in the illustration above. Glue them together on the one square where they meet. After that dries then you can write your criss-cross book on the inside. You close the book by closing the square upon itself.
