Kids Scrapbook

Welcome to the kids scrapbook, an imaginative and versatile craft project for children and adults. Each kids scrapbook page holds new adventures, hopes and memories of your child. Scrapbooks are a memory maker craft to express interest in sports, vacations, friendships, pets, dreams and more.

Young children can begin their memory makers by preserving tickets from special events they attended, drawings about family outings or handouts from a school play or graduation. Scrapbooking ideas are as varied as those who create them. We have included a few scrapbooking ideas for kids to enjoy.

Unique Baby Shower Gifts

Unique Baby Shower Gifts

Giving unique baby shower gifts are priceless and memorable ways to celebrate the arrival of a special newborn. Many families are scattered around the country and unable to be present to give unique baby shower gifts. One unique baby shower gift idea is to make a storytelling tape or compact disc.

Unique Baby Shower Gifts

Distant relatives who live far away may not be able to read their favorite books in person to a baby, but they can still share stories in a meaningful way — by making a recording of themselves reading one aloud. Label the recording, and send it with a copy of the book. Personalize the book with a picture and inscription and you will have created a unique baby shower gift to be treasured for years.

Adoption Baby Shower

Adoption Baby Shower

Throw an adoption baby shower for a friend as a way to celebrate the long awaited arrival of their little one. People often forget that adoptive parents also appreciate and enjoy the chance to celebrate their new child. Because adoption timelines can be very unpredictable, an adoption baby shower has to wait until right before the baby comes home or even a few weeks after its arrival.

You should consider a baby shower theme that highlights something special about the adoptive parents or child. Consider the age of the child that is being adopted in order to determine what type of gifts to purchase.

Adoption Baby Shower

Adoption Baby Shower

Steer away from baby shower games that focus on pregnancy during the adoption baby shower, instead keep the focus on games like baby shower bingo, baby bottle bowling, baby pictionary and the like. See our archived posts for more baby shower games and ideas.

An adoption shower can be for an older adopted child as well. Think of it as more of a birthday party with gifts for the child along with any items, such as clothes or furniture that he or she may need.

Kids Arts and Crafts

Kids Arts and Crafts

For educational kids arts and crafts, don’t forget the power of reading. We have great ideas on how to create your next kids art project that is sure to be fun and educational. It is always nice to read a book to a child. What about having your child create their own book?

Kids Art Project

Kids Art Project

Begin this kids craft by having your child draw a picture. Ask him or her to begin telling a story. Have him draw pictures for each part of the story. To make it more authentic have him draw the picture and run the picture through your printer using a word document for formatting the words for the picture. It is easy to do if you put it at the top or bottom of the page.

When this kids arts and crafts book is complete, you can use your imagination and paper found around the house to make a cover. There is not a limit as to how you decide to finish this kids art project. You can keep it simple by hole punching the sides and running yarn through the holes. Or, you can visit your local office supply store. They have the equipment to make a spiral notebook out of this treasure.

If you have a group of kids, these kids crafts will be so much fun to create together. You can have each child draw a picture and tell a story. Group them together to make the story flow as one or have each story stand on its own. The kids will think it is pretty neat to have a ‘published’ book.

For an adorable outfit for your little girl or boy to wear for their next kids art project, visit us at www.treasureboxkids.com to find adorable kids clothing at discount prices.

Kids activities

Kids activities

Some fun kids activities can teach your child valuable skills while spending quality time with your child. Teaching your children to help around the house can be a kids activity that is taught at a very early age.

Activities for kids can be simple and be educational to them as well. You can make your own customized calendar. Calendars can be downloaded from the internet. They are usually blank and therefore ready for you to personalize.

To begin these kids learning activities, write down the expectations you have for chores from your children for the coming month. Purchase stick on stars from the dollar store or any teachers’ store. For each day that the chores are completed give your child a star. If you have more than one child participating have them pick the color star that will be their color.

Kids Learning Activities

Visit us at www.treasureboxkids.com where you will find adorable boys and girls outfits at affordable prices.

At the end of the month if all the days have stars it is cause for celebration. This kids activity can be fun and will help you around the house as well. When it comes time for awards you can decide how you want to reward your child. I had told my children that they could have a special prize and we would shop for it. I was pleasantly surprised that they picked very inexpensive gifts. It seemed that the self-esteem they had accomplished from having a full calendar of stars was very gratifying in itself. However, if you feel you need to set limits do that at the beginning of the month so that there are not any disappointments. This will also encourage them for the coming month.

This and other kids learning activities can be found weekly by visiting our blog at Treasure Box Kids.
