Countless memories are built during
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 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:
A) Story of Birth of Baby
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 family.
- Photo of mommy pregnant with baby. - Who waited for birth? - Who came for hospital visit? - Weight, length, doctor, hospital details. - Feelings of parents about 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.
As there's a chance that there's no photos taken during birth, a good alternative would be to do a page on significant or historical events that happened on day or year of your kid's birth. How to source for such information? Visit www.dmarie.com/timecap to pick up such data.
