Kid's Memory Scrapbook

Memory Scrapbook



From ThePartyWorks.com

Here is a great project for kids at a party or just to help them preserve memories. This project is easy and inexpensive.

Materials:

Tissue Paper

Markers

White Glue and Water

Copy Paper

Paint Brush

Newspaper or Tablecover (to keep work area clean)

Directions:

Mix some white glue with a water a little at a time to ensure that it is not too runny. Tear tissue paper into pieces - different shapes and sizes. Using your paint bush wipe some glue onto a piece of copy paper and apply a piece of tissue. Continue until the entire page is covered - Note: Richy left a small space uncovered for the title of his book. When cover is dry - turn it over and add glue to the entire page - place a second piece of copy paper on top of the glue and press together. This will give your cover a sturdy look and feel and keep the page from buckling. Fold in half and you have the cover.

Fold several sheets of copy paper in half and insert into your cover. Punch a couple of holes in the center near the edge and tie with ribbon or string. Or you can staple with a book stapler in the center. Have the kids draw, color, add pictures, etc and they can create their memories in a special place to treasure forever.

Cast Iron Cookware

It has been said, over and over in fact, that there is nothing better than food prepared in a cast iron pan. Several dishes, including Mexican fajitas, Cajun seafood, sausage & eggs, and of course, cornbread, are hailed as delicious when prepared in these pans. Cast iron is also the cookware of choice amongst serious campers and hikers, but be sure to bring the pack mule, this stuff is heavy!
