Make A Scrapbook of Your Child's Artwork


As much as we all love the artwork our kids make at school and bring home to us, we all have the same question. "What should I do with all this artwork that is piling higher and higher?" Not only do we have art from school, but art done at home, as well. And by the time you add up all the Art from a couple of kids it can get downright mind-boggling.

So, here is a great solution that will become a wonderful keepsake of your child's art to hand them when they are older. Start your Art Scrapbook for each child by personalizing the front of the Scrapbook with their name and photo, then add fun embellishment with the word ART in big letters, either cut out or some of the fun fonts you can find at the craft stores. If you haven't looked lately, there are entire sections just for Scrapbooking supplies and papers in most stores these days. Not only the craft stores, but also at Target and Walmart.

Make each page a fun page that is colorful and that coordinates with the color in each particular piece of art your child has done. Your child will have fun doing this project with you and it will be a great memory that he/she created this special book with you ... and knowing that it is "his" or "hers".

This is a lovely activity for a rainy day or when it's just too cold to go outside. We'd love to share some of your photos, so when you get started, please drop us a note and a photo or two. Happy Scrapping! For more fun Family projects ... go to our main site, ZiggityZoom.com http://www.ziggityzoom.com

Let Kids Print & Make Free Valentines



If you would like to save some money and give the kids an activity at the same time, print out the cute sheets of Valentine's Day cards on our Ziggity Zoom kids site

These are fun and colorful Valentines with themes such as, Princess, Pirate, Mermaid, Aliens and Fun Cute Animals. Just print the images on heavyweight printer paper and let the kids cut them out and sign their name on the backs.

We will even be posting a pattern so the kids can make their own envelopes, but for now they can start ahead on the fun Valentine Cards.
