Materials:

• Pictures created by your children
• Cardboard
• Scissors
• Hole Punch
• Metal Fasteners, Yarn, Twine (Whatever you would like to bind your book with)
• Crayons, glue, glitter, paint, markers (To decorate your book cover)

1. Gather all the pictures created by your children from the fridge or other places of honor. Get your child to help you put them in order (To tell a story) You can write the story on the back of the pictures or leave it blank so it can be a different story every time you read it.
2. Make sure all the pictures are roughly the same size, cut down ones that are too large and for ones that are too small, paste to a larger piece of paper.
3. Cut 2 pieces of cardboard to the same size as your pictures.
4. Punch a minimum of 2 holes along one side of all papers and the cardboard, taking care the holes are in the same spot on each.
5. Fasten or bind your book together with the material you chose, metal fasteners, yarn, twine, etc.
6. To make your book open easier, take the scissors and score a line from top to bottom about a half inch to an inch from your binding. Make sure not to score it too hard, just enough so it will bend easily.
7. Decorate your cover. Remember to write story and/or pictures by your child.
