Who this list is for
This accordion book art project supply list is for children creating a small folded book about a favorite place, animal, or imaginary world. It works well at an art-and-writing center where students can combine words, drawings, collage, and simple covers.
How to use this list
Start with heavyweight drawing paper, rulers, and pencils to mark folds for the accordion pages. Use cardstock cover sheets and glue sticks once the folded interior is ready. Students can develop ideas from story prompt cards, then use washable markers, colored pencils, magazine pages, alphabet stickers, and washi tape to fill pages and decorate covers. Add a name label before books are mixed together.
Common mistakes
Do not glue the cardstock cover on before checking the accordion folds. Pages should open and fold smoothly first. Avoid giving out a large stack of magazine pages without a selection step; children can choose a few useful collage pieces, cut them with child-safe scissors, and return the rest. Keep writing and drawing areas clear before layering tape or collage.
