Lapazfarm gets crafty

(Thanks once again to the ladies at the 4reallearning board for this idea.)
When I saw these Origami books aka accordian books or squash books, they looked like too much fun, so of course we had to try it out. I thought it would make a nice alternative to our usual notebooking and Superboy agreed.
Superboy decided he wanted to make one on Pagoo.
Here is the cover:
Open it up to see what is inside!
The large diamonds are stages of Pagoo’s life cycle, while the smaller triangles are characters he meets in his story, with quotes from the book in the lower triangles.
Here are some close-ups of the content, though I am afraid the photos are not too clear:
The pictures are photocopies from the book. Some color and some black and white, which Superboy then colored lightly and added some glitter for sparkle! It was a fun little project and a handy way to “wrap up” our study of Pagoo!
Could you please come live with me and teach my children?
OH, I love this! What a great project. It looks like you guys had a lot of fun with it.
Awesome, Theresa and Superboy!
I’ll check out the links above – do they give tutorials?
All I can say is WOW! You guys blow me away.
How do you do it all Theresa?! I’d love to be a fly on your wall and just take notes. Everytime I visit your blog I find something new and fabulous!
OK, you all had better stop or I am going to get a big head!LOL!
Theresa — this is a great example of those books! Very cool work, folks!
Ok… you’ve done it again! I’m inspired…. I’m going to have to “borrow” this idea to do with the kids. Thanks! (I love stopping in and reading your blog…)
AWE-sooooo-me!
Those are fantatic books! Crafty is right!!
