Makerspace and Picture Books

A picture book is a great inspiration for creativity and imagination. Makerspace and picture books go hand in hand to develop a child’s creativity skills.  A maker space can be carved out of any space, big or small in the classroom, at home, or in the library.  Simply put, a maker space is an area that fosters innovation through hands-on experimentation. These books and activities are an engaging addition to any primary years library or classroom and not only provide a space for creativity but can also link to important concepts.
