Tiny Books

Today I really wanted to do something a little different with the boys but the ideas, they just weren't there.  I was in need of some help.  So I bought a copy of Alphabet Glue and within its pages, I found my inspiration for our afternoon -- tiny accordion books in their own little boxes.

 

Quinn's Book of Colours
Keegan's Lego Book
Quinn set right to work.  Keegan danced around . . . a lot.  He also claimed a case of writer's block, hinting not-so-subtly that perhaps a new Lego kit would cure it.  Once he realized that wasn't going to happen, he found his muse too.  Lego, of course.


I had to get in on the book making action as well.



Keegan already has plans to make another book tomorrow.  I think I might too.

    Miniatures are always popular with kids. I love the idea of the mini book. I have been seeing some great ones around blog land lately. Maybe it is a new trend!

    Love that you created alongside your kiddos. These minis are a great idea because tiny pages are so much less intimidating for kiddos than large empty ones. spring break begins on friday and i'm adding this to our making list - my bigger guys (12 and almost 10) will enjoy these very much!
