Who knew a single piece of paper could hold an entire story? In this engaging workshop, students will learn how to transform an ordinary square or rectangular sheet—be it copy paper or drawing paper—into a mini book packed with creativity!
Using simple folding techniques and a single clever cut, they’ll create their own one-of-a-kind mini books. For those looking for an extra challenge, we’ll introduce advanced folding and cutting tricks to design more intricate books with multiple flaps, pages, and hidden surprises.
Perfect for budding writers, illustrators, and young creators, this workshop shows how storytelling can be simple, accessible, and endlessly fun.
