Make a Book House Like Maisy's


The other day, a friend of mine showed me the cutest Maisy book she bought for her granddaughter - Maisy's House and Garden.  I can imagine any three to five-year-old would be thrilled with the cute "carousel" style play house book, complete with stickers and attached furniture, by Lucy Cousins...

I've done several blog posts about the art of paper cutting and paper engineering - including Book Making Ideas for Kids, which featured some "how to" tips and the pop-up art of Robert Sabuda.

  1. Those are beautiful! I've always steered far from pop-up books because my little ones always rip them, but now that they are older, I might be able to buy a few and keep them safely away from the littles. Thanks for this resource :)

    1. Pop-up books are a great way to teach kids about being gentle with books - not for the board book stage. :)

  2. Wonderful pop up books, the Alice is especially clever. I was looking at it recently in a very special library in Manchester.
