Kids and Scrapbooking..

My daughter LOVES to scrapbook….I for one do not love that she loves to be in my stuff, but I know she loves to spend time with me. I know that she is very proud of what she accomplishes. She watches every page I make and most often tries to "recreate" what I have made. With my current project (her Disney Album) I give her the extra photos to work with. Her pages are always included in the album. This way she is included in the project and gets to show off part of it.

Buying supplies for kids… obviously kids can work with just about any kind of scrapbook supplies. I keep a box of extra stickers and papers that I know I am not going to use and give them to her as I see fit. I also pick up clearance or supplies at the dollar store. A package of 270 Disney princess stickers for $1.79 has lasted longer than one might think! I recommend glue sticks vs. tape rollers for kids. Much cheaper and a whole lot less adult interaction!

Make it a reward. Homework, chores need to be done before he / she can spend the evening scrapbooking. That is how things work at our house!
