Event Kit - ABRAMS Books

Event Kit
We hope this packet will help you to create an interactive ART2-D2 event that’s fun
for everyone. Please read through the activities on these pages and decide what works
for your needs and for the kids who turn out.
MAY THE DOODLES BE WITH YOU!
First Things First
This packet includes a number of suggestions for folding and doodling activities that will make
for a fun event. You’ll have to gauge the size of your crowd to determine which of these
activities and materials will work best. You might want to only do one or two of the activites,
or do them all.
Enclosed Materials
 1 package of 20 Art2-D2 pencils
 10 Art2-D2’s Guide to Folding and Doodling 16-page samplers
 8 sheets of green paper (to cut into origami squares)
Pencils
Use these as prizes, or give a pencil to each kid at your event.
16-page Samplers
Put these by the register for customers to take, or use them as prizes.
Origami Paper
Cut the enclosed green paper to make 32 origami squares. Instructions on how to cut
the paper are below. If you need more squares, use any 8.5 x 11” sized paper
(examples: computer or construction paper).
Directions to cut paper:
1) Fold the 8.5 x 11” green paper in half from top to bottom & then unfold.
2) Next, fold the paper in half from left to right and unfold.
3) Cut along the fold lines, which results in four squares of origami paper.
Getting Started
We’d like to ask that you please kick off the event by reading the following letter from Tom
Angleberger to the group.
My idea for ART2-D2 was to let Kellen, Dwight, and the
rest of the gang from ORIGAMI YODA make a case file of
everything cool they can do! Origami, kirigami, doodling,
talking like Yoda, making a t-shirt, fake cracking your
knuckles, and on and on . . . it's all in there. And we wanted
to add something extra special for the readers, so all copies
of ART2-D2 include perforated origami paper in the proper
colors for their character. For example, it includes
green/brown paper to fold Origami Yoda and all black
paper to fold Darth Paper.
The book is just crammed with stooky stuff!
But it’s no good until YOU open it up and give it a try.
Oops, wait . . . I didn’t mean try. . .
Sincerely,
Tom Angleberger
