Paperbag books are easy, cheap, and fun for kids (and me too). Lunch bags come in different sizes. I bought a 1000 from Costco for $10, but I don't think they have them anymore. They are 13" long and 6" wide. I cut them down to 12" so it will fit a 6"x12" piece of pattern paper on the cover. The open pockets on the sides are great for adding pull out pages. Depending on the age, there is another bag book to store artwork using the large grocery bags that are 12" wide and I guess about 16" long. I cut down the bags to make a 12" square and then I use Chipboard for the cover. The pockets are large enough to store a child's artwork. It's a great way to show children about recycling the big grocery bags.
