Bring the magic of typography home with Designing Letters, a playful hands-on activity designed just for kids and young creatives!

Letters are more than just symbols – they have personality! Whether they are bubbly, sharp, wiggly, or bold, the way we draw letters tells a story. Design Letters invites you to explore the world of language and self-expression by building your very own font from scratch.

Our specially designed printable activity sheet will guide you through:
Experimenting with Shapes: Turn simple lines into extraordinary characters.
Giving Letters Style: Learn how to give your alphabet its own unique look.
Creative Play: A fun, no-rules approach to contemporary print culture.

Originally created as a regional outreach program for libraries across Victoria, we’re making this activity available to everyone. It’s our way of ensuring that no matter where you are, you can participate in the making, play, and discovery of the Melbourne Art Book Fair.
