Much more than a manual for creating books, Hands on Paper is a journey into the tactile world of paper, unlocking the creative potential of children. This book invites readers to design and construct books while giving ample room for the imagination of the young.
The volume offers 8 interdisciplinary pathways that explore paper as a “living material,” encouraging the discovery of its characteristics through fresh perspectives and transforming the classroom into a hub of innovation. Activities are designed to be accessible to all, including those facing challenges, requiring only simple materials and minimal time to execute. A book made in the classroom can become a collective treasure, helping children develop a sense of belonging, communication skills, and confidence in their own abilities.
