Flip Flap Books

Make a book where the characters can be switched around

Make interchangeable characters, animals and creatures using a technique inspired by the Surrealist's 'exquisite corpse.' In a book format and using book flaps, kids can watch their characters come to life in unexpected ways! They will expand their drawing vocabulary, flex their creative muscles and generate new ideas through a fun format.
