Unleash the Imagination of Your Students with Klutz Build-a-Book

Presented by Scholastic Book Fairs, the Klutz Build-a-Book experience is a totally tested, totally fun in-school event where students and their families turn a blank Klutz book and some simple craft materials into a priceless family treasure.

It's a celebration of literacy, arts and crafts, and family togetherness. Using a glue stick and craft materials, plus a blank wire-o bound Klutz book, families create a book (and a memory) they’ll keep forever!

The Klutz Build-a-Book event offers multiple benefits for school communities:
Increases family involvement and helps build communities
Nurtures creativity and promotes a love for books
Crosses any language barrier and learning level
Classroom sets enrich and deepen any curriculum (makes a great Classroom Wish List item!)
Supports your school

This is a great family activity that’s fun, easy, and rewarding, and develops a love of reading that can last a lifetime. Read a success story from a principal whose Klutz Build-a-Book event helped "build" students' self-confidence!
