Fun HomeschoolingCreative Book MakingHome >> Home School Ideas >> Blank Book Making We recently had a fun homeschooling session when we needed some new blank books for the start of our school-year.
We use little blank books all the time - for story writing, Journaling, note-taking or just doodling. I always try to make sure we have attractive books around for the children to grab when the creative urge strikes. A pile of fresh new notebooks, felt-pens and stickers seems irresistible to children!
Relaxed Homeschooling The simplest and most rewarding type of notebook to make is to fold A5 paper in half and staple down the edge. Four or five pages makes a book just big enough for a child's illustrated story!
I like to pick up boxes of cheap notecards to use as covers, but cardstock also works well. These little books make nice gifts for homeschooling friends!
We love to leave the handles on our paper bag books. They are great to grab as you head out of the house. Mobile notebooks! Homeschool SuccessBe imaginative in your book making. A special cover inspires special writing or drawing! Almost anything can become a cover - fabric, leaves, pieces of bark. We like to make little fabric books - cut pieces of plain fabric with pinking shears and sew down one edge. As well as writing - these fabric books are good for sewing in!

Another fun way to make your own notebooks is to use brown paper bags as the cover. Cut down the long edges of the bag so it will open. Refold the bottom of the bag so the fold is hidden inside the covers. Use this fold to staple your paper to.
