Helpful Hints For Using Books

The following basic materials and construction information will be useful In
completing the games and activities in the activity books.

  1. Copy or mount each page on a heavier cardstock or poster type material. This will increase the life of your visuals.
  2. Color using watercolor markers and pastel chalks. The markers give bright, vivid color and the pastels give the softer values you may need with some pictures. Do not use crayons. Sometimes they will melt when laminating and will spread beyond the coloring lines
  3. Laminate all cards, games and folders. This will prevent anything from smearing or ruining your visual. This will also make your game more durable.
  4. A fun product called "sticky-back" Velcro can be used on any laminated surface to hold pieces on. This makes the individual games and activities easy to manipulate and play. "Sticky-back" Velcro can be purchased at any fabric or craft store.

...Also

  • Keep books intact and use 'copies' in creating your designs and handouts
  • Use "white out" to remove any unwanted parts of the design or page
  • Use glue stick to mount your designs
  • Use a fine-tip marker to finish lines or connect designs (to give your page a completed look)
  • Good copies are essential in creating a good project. Make sure your copies have a good, rich black print.
