One would think that scrapbooking is only for "grown ups" but did you know that many kids make scrapbooks along with their mom and dad? Yes, this craft hobbie is truly "family friendly." When starting out, make sure you go over all the safety concerns at the table, such as; the proper use of scissors, keeping the table neat, making sure that ink and stamp pads…etc. stays in the containers. Kids love to get messy so make sure you only put out only the items that will be worked on for that moment.

Start with the pictures, one page and a binder first. It is so important to choose the pictures that will be needed with the child so they can concentrate on only a few pictures at once. Keep them focused on working on one page only. After the kids choose their pictures, get out some colored construction paper, some stickers, and other small embellishments and watch how creative they get in positioning everything! Of course, you will need to assist them with adhesives and gluing things down, but overall, you can certainly praise them for their achievement!
