Happy Easter!

Same idea as the leprechaun hat below, but bunny ears instead.

A high school that I once went to had a wall full of wanted posters with pictures of their teachers holding their favorite books on it. I found this site where you can create a wanted poster like the one pictured to the left. All you do is download the picture and add the text you want on it. Take pictures of teachers and label them "WANTED for reading... (then list their favorite book)"

The site that I created this poster on was http://www.glassgiant.com/wanted/

March is Youth Art & National Craft Month

March is Youth Art Month, and National Craft Month. I am amazed at the detail and crafting put into pop-op books and am presenting a pop-up book this week during library classes to share my amazement. Robert Sabuda, one of the paper crafters that created several pop-up books with Michael Reinhart, celebrates his birthday on March 8th. If you would like to check out a website put together by Sabuda and find instructions for a few simple pop-ups that you can make, go to http://www.robertsabuda.com/popmake/index.asp
