bend light
defy time
and reflect
– see yourself
Writing a book takes lots of time and effort.
Luckily for you, The Circus of Similes has created four illustrated mini books for you to download and customise. All you have to do is add your words!
Choose between the Time Flies, Flip Side, Travelling Light, or Final Frontier, (or download them all) and get ready to write your first book!
Print & Play Instructions
Once you’ve dowloaded your concertina mini books, it’s time to print them out and make them.
First, fold your piece of paper in half longways along the centre line with the writing.
Next fold your piece of paper in half again. Then unfold it.
Fold the bottom edge into the crease you just made in the middle of the paper.
Now fold the top edge into the middle crease in the paper.
Flip your piece of paper over.
Fold your paper in half again.
Let go of your paper and it will bring into life as a zig-zag, concertina book that you can customise with your own lines of poetry.
If you wish, you can share the mini books you write on socials using the hashtags, #circusofsimiles and #printandplaypoetry.
