Perhaps our simplest project yet, this little table card codex doubles as an immediate ice breaker at any party, gala, program, or reception! Just pop it by your place setting, and let the other guests read your (abbreviated) autobiography!
You’ll need:
- 1 extra large binder clip (ours was 3″)
- 1 Read Me Like a Book template printed on 8.5 x 11 card stock
- Pen
We’ll begin with the little book! You can simply cut and fold a page directly from the template, or you can add a poster board book cover, as I did in the example project. To create the book holder, flip the two silvers handles of the binder clip upwards. Stand the clip on its base, then pull the handles until they lean backwards at an angle, like so:
Place the book on top of the base, leaning the spine back on the silver handles. Done!
Hint: if you’re displaying these at an outdoor party with steady breezes, we highly recommend securing the book to the handles with a piece of tape.
Have a reluctant reader who might appreciate good race? This simple project will get them raring to read letters and words with the assistance of their own personal reading robot! Built out of things in your home or office, it’s low tech, but high levels of F-U-N!
Next, write alphabet letters on Post-it notes and stick them to a tabletop. Have the reader and their robot sit on the opposite side of the table. As you call out the letter, they can slide and release their robot towards the proper Post-it!
Pssst! For you eagle-eyed Swifties, did you also spot a very special house in
