I love great tutorials and ideas I find on other blogs so I thought it was time I start sharing some of what Peighton and I do on a daily basis around here....usually something crafty!
Here is what we made this morning.....
"I Spy Photo Book"
Supplies
Small photo album
pictures of "Collections"
glue gun
large scrap of fabric
scraps of ribbon (optional)
I went around the house and took pictures of collections of "things." Little people, play food, the silverware drawer, the junk drawer, shoes, tools in the garage, etc.
I printed them out and stuck them in her book.
I left a double page spread for each picture. The picture is on the left and a list of what she has to find will be on the right.
Then I cut a rectangle of fabric about an inch bigger than my photo album on each side.
I cut small openings for the spine of the book and wrapped the rest like a present using lots of glue!
I still need to print out the "what to find" pages, but a little helper seems to have stolen my book before I could get it done! Guess she can't read yet anyway, so I think I have time to get that done!
Here's my cover. I added a little rick rack and a bow....because we like things like that!
She was browsing her book immediately! I think this will be great in the car!
Look at her concentration! Ha!
Enjoy! I think we'll be making more of these!
