Summer Origami* Club: Make a Rabbit
*There’s cutting involved in this one, so it’s kirigami rather than origami. Practice traditional papercrafts with Amy. This week, find out how to make a rabbit. Maybe it came from the moon…?
Summer Reading Story & Craft #7: First Painter
Amy reads First Painter, by Kathryn Lasky with illustrations from Rocco Baviera, published by Dorling Kindersley Publishing.

Afterwards, try out your own “cave painting” with wrinkled paper, crayons, and your imagination.
