    Book Sculptures
    Choosing a Theme & Cover

    You’ve heard of pop-up books, but have you heard of book sculptures? Tune in every Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. (MT) during the month of December as AAM Educator Vanessa Porras teaches a four- part, step-by-step series on the many options in creating one! Materials are super-simple, all you really need is a little patience and copious amounts of creativity!
    
    This activity is suited for those old enough to safely work with an X-acto style knife.

    Theme: Diversity
