When I saw this tiny book tutorial Lori linked to, I knew it was something David and I could do together.
We gathered our supplies. David’s favorite color is green right now so he picked a bunch of green.
We cut them all up.
glued to the paper.
And then made our book.
David punched out a bunch of birds.
and glued all of his treasures.
We added some more accents and then I gave him a sheet of letter stickers and he’s having a ton of fun with them.
Here’s what he wrote.
And here he is with his book.
An hour later he’s still adding to it and playing with it. That’s what I call a good craft project.
Our family likes to craft, too. The 18-year old still sits down with me and the girls, sometimes. BTW-David is going to be a heartbreaker, intelligence and those killer blue eyes!
how cool is it that your teenager sits with the girls. I love that! Yes, those eyes are amazing aren’t they? And he’s such a nice boy. I hope he stays that way 🙂
Did he write out the word “Lego” in his book?
lol, i don’t think he did. I’ll have to tell him tomorrow.
I often use that folding technique to make a book out of one piece of paper but had never thought to stick on a range of papers – will try it. I’ve made this book at several events with people of different ages and backgrounds and everyone loves it. David’s book looks great.
thank you. maybe we should do one of these each year and see how david’s style changes over the year… hmm!
