7 Keepers for Your Child's Kindergarden Scrapbook Album

  1. Take a photo of her, back and front, with her little (or little too big) backpack. You can use it as first and last page of your kindergarten scrapbook.
  2. Save the first day's name tag, stickers and whatever he got at school for later use in your scrapbook.
  3. Save the lunch menu, it can be a cute layout, or make a note of your kid's favorite lunch foods.
  4. Take a picture of her at the school's playground - where is her favorite hang out?
  5. Goes without saying - a picture of him with his buddies.
  6. Take a few photos of her preparing to go to school: waking up, brushing, washing, dressing up, breakfast - print them up in a wallet size format or a film-strip, it'll make a perfect story-by photo -page.
  7. Did they get homework yet? - photo them doing H.W., photocopy the first worksheet/assignment sheet, fold it and add it to your scrapbook layout in a
    scrapbook pocket.

School Scrapbook for each child is as easy as 1-2-3!




School mornings are tough, trying to stay calm while handling all the morning tasks and various moods. When we are finally on our way, all tucked in the car, my kids sing the following song:

"I love my mom
My mom is cool
and now it's time
to go have fun at school"

Here are some school layouts from my premade school scrapbook album - It's as easy as can be with these layouts:
1. Get a premade school scrapbook for each one of your kids here. It's a good investment as you
will be using this scarpbook for grades K-6 (7 years!)
2. Choose the one most precious photo for each year for each child.
3. Adhere your best memories photo to its corresponding layout.
You now created great K through 6th school keepsake photo album individualized for each one of your kids with minimal effort :)
