As adults, when we think of scrapbooks, we immediately think of photographs. When we look online, we find albums filled with photographs. Kids and teens also enjoy scrapbooking. Scrapbooks do not have to be photographs.
Here are several ideas for both kids and teens:
• Lyrics to songs
• Photos from magazines
• Postcards
• Greeting cards
• Collector cards
• Classmate photos from school
• School reports
• Photos off the web of a favorite television star or musician
• CD covers
Kids and teens enjoy collecting all types of things that can be put into scrapbooks. Older kids of course can use all of your scrapbooking supplies. You might be amazed at the creativity teens show through scrapbooking.
Young children often do better with very small scrapbooks, and your scrap paper. For the older kids, you may want to consider copying whatever they wish to scrapbook onto acid free and lignin free paper so that it does not turn yellow and crack.
Kids and teens both love stickers. We have always watched for sales on stickers. For very young children, I don’t think it’s necessary to worry about the stickers being acid free. I have from time to time found stickers that come 1000 to a box. I’ve bought those and had the younger kids use them in their scrapbooks.
One of my daughters actually created a wonderful album of all of her stickers. The pages were nothing but stickers.
Another idea for kids making scrapbooks is to use homemade albums versus the store bought albums. Punch three holes in the side of the cardstock and then add pages. You can either use white cardstock as your base, or full sheets of scrapbook paper. Punch holes in each page. Next time the kids say “I’m bored” suggest they create a scrapbook.
Popular Christmas Gifts For Kids and Teens
This year make Christmas a memorable one for the kids, or the teen on your list. Christmas time is a great time to share with loved ones, especially the kids.
For The Kids
What are some of the most popular Christmas gift ideas this year for kids? That is very simple, video games, accessories and game systems. Kids just love the different games for the Sony Playstation, Xbox or the Nintendo Gamecube. The kids really seem to enjoy not only the games and consoles, but also the accessories like a steering wheel for a car game, or a carrying case for their system.
Some other great gift ideas for the children are the popular scooters and electric pocket bikes. Watching the kids experience the thrill of a real motorcycle without the speed and danger.
For Boys
Another popular Christmas gift idea for boys are the remote controls. Trucks, tanks and cars. Boys love them all. There is nothing like allowing them to watch them drive and operate a remote control vehicle. Parents enjoy this more than driving themselves because kids' eyes still light up when they drive.
For Girls
Girls are a little more trivial when it comes to gifts. Some really good ideas are simple things like sing a long games, puzzles and games, but they also like those electric scooters to ride around the neighborhood. Of course girls love dolls and stuffed animals, but they like to do things the boys do also.
For Teens
What about the teen? They love getting gifts too on Christmas morning. They just get a little more expensive. Instead of searching all over the place the most popular gifts for teens this year are iPod MP3 players and iPod accessories.
One main advantage of an Apple iPod MP3 player is the accessories made for it. Things like protective and stylish cases, speakers, radios and docking stations. Alarm clocks, boom boxes, carrying cases and more more. Even most home theater systems come with an iPod plug in.
This year give a great Christmas gift for the kids or the teens, but please remember those less fortunate than us and make his, or her Christmas a little brighter too. Donating to Toys for Tots, or a local Salvation Army is a great way to spread that Christmas joy to as many people as possible.
