It could also be a good craft project for school age children who can keep a daily record of what they did during the school holidays.
Below is how we did our scrapbook, to give you inspiration.
You may need:
A scrapbook
Scissors
Glue
Art materials (pens, paint, crayons, etc)
Scrapbooking materials (sequins, stickers,etc)
The first thing you will need is something to create the scrapbook. It can be a sketchbook, proper scrapbook, pad of paper - whatever you have available. You could also just use normal paper and use a hole punch and ribbon to create your own book.
If your child draws a lot you can scan their artwork into the computer and get it printed up as a photobook by somewhere like Photobox.co.uk as a permanent record of their artwork. This potentially would also make a great present for a parent or grandparent!
When we did our scrapbook we documented my son's likes and dislikes - the example in the photo above is a cutting and sticking picture he did of his favorite film (Aardman's 'The Curse of the Were-rabbit').
You could also stick in tickets to the zoo, etc, and other souveneirs of days out.
We also used the scrapbook to create reminders of days out. This is a picture he did of a parrot and some butterflies to remind him of his trip to Tropical Wings.
My little boy was obsessed with photos at the time, so we bought him a kids digital camera for his third birthday. Some of the photos he took were used for scrapbooking.
I hope this has given you some inspiration to help you get started!
