These mini books are crazy fun for the kids. They consist of three paper bags folded in half and stacked on top of one another. The stack is hole punched then bound with a rubberband and a stick.
The kids get a kick out of the built in pockets and peek-a-boo pages. The book itself inspires creativity. I take a ton of photos on our field trip to the zoo, then order a ton of wallet photos from Costco. I divide up the photos making sure each child has a few common photos and a few of themselves. Then I make all of the extra photos available to the kids so they can choose a few favorites of their own to add to their scrapbooks. I cut up a whole lot of scrapbooking paper and let the kids get to work
. They work on these off and on for the last week of school. It is fun to see what they come up with and to watch them inspire one another as they share stories and ideas.
What a fun idea!! Thanks!
