Materials Needed:
2 pieces of paper
(1 for the cover and 1 for the inside),
scissors, and a stapler.
This book can be with a spiritual theme or with a secular theme.
Pictures can be collected, or each boy can draw his own pictures.
Fold the inside piece in half the short way. The piece of paper should
go from 8 ½” x 11” to 8 ½” x 5 ½”. Fold the paper in half again. Now
the size should be 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. See aside. Fold the cover in the same
manner. If the cover is heavier paper, then a ½ page (8 ½” x 5 ½”) can be used and only one fold.
Place the inside sheet inside the cover sheet. Staple the pieces together at the seam. If you have
a short stapler, you may have to fold over one side part way carefully without creasing to reach
the center to staple all the pages. After stapling, use the scissors to cut the top edge of the inside
paper. You should now have a front and back cover and 8 pages (4 pages front and back) to write
the story on.
