Scrapbooking Childrens Favorite Stories

Countless memories are built during the formative childhood days. If there's an excellent means to record them down in some ways, it'll be scrapbooking. True, we can't possibly capture every single event, but we can definitely scrap those more memorable ones onto pages. If you've decided to scrapbook together with your kid, besides guiding them with little prompts on the journaling, you'll probably need some neat ideas to pull in those best memories. Here's various hot-selling "stories" that you and your child can scrapbook about: <B>A) Story of the Birth of Baby</B> Kids love to read stories about themselves as babies. Having pages surrounding your child's birth will make him or her feel how much he or she is wanted by the family. - Photo of mommy pregnant with the baby. - Who waited for the birth? - Who came for the hospital visit? - Weight, length, doctor, hospital details. - Feelings of parents about the birth of your child. - Funny stories that happened. - Documenting baby milestones. - What's your kid's favorite bedtime stories? - Photo of your kid's favorite toys.
