Two of the younger participants and I started a glitter club with our matching “When In Doubt Just Add Glitter” buttons. It was also an awesome opportunity to tell them about our button making services, and another school-aged March Break Event called The Idea Factory.

Once they finished they could come to the front and grab some candy – at this point I asked to take a picture of their covers. While th e volunteers were photocopying the pages, I had the participants decorate their covers. These were GREAT activity pages for them to complete after they finished their covers. Youve probably seen them around or on Tumblr. I had created 9 example pages in advance: finish this story, drop coffee here, write 3 titles for your future autobiography, draw yourself in 50 years doing something awesome, finish this maze using an unconventional writing utensil, etc. Wreck This Journal is a conceptual journal created by artist Keri Smith. I also created a slide and handout: Book Binding Instruction Sheet. However the ones who struggled were able to work with our volunteers, or use a stapler. I was impressed that many of them were able to complete the book binding without any one-on-one assistance. The level of excitement was extremely high, and some of their pages are very creative: With a mix of new, altered, and favourite prompts, Wreck This Journal- Now in Colour invites you to destroy with colour. Tweens who were not able to think of anything right away looked at The Inspiration Sheet I made, which had plenty of cool ideas to get them started. Some kids had never heard of Wreck This Journal before, and some had already completed one – but all of them were completely immersed in decorating their covers and creating new pages.

Decorate their own cardstock cover (with rhinestones, stick on pearls, googly eyes, glitter letters, etc).
