Yes! Kids Can Scrapbook!

Posted by Vanessa Calleja Posted on: 09/24/07

Yes! Kids Can Scrapbook!

As a former scrapbooking consultant I used to get the same question all the time.  "Do you teach kids to scrapbook too?"  Of course!

During the summer while my kids were on vacation I strictly taught classes for kids during the week.  They would come for two days and we would have lunch and then scrapbook for hours!  My kids loved seeing their friends and looking at their photos!

Kids have a way of seeing things that amazes me!  Their creativity just flows like a river!  And they, unlike adults, see a page and do whatever they think of first. 

They don't care of their colors match.  They don't care if the pieces are cut perfectly.  Heck, they even rip the paper sometimes just to get the look they want. 

And stories....we all know kids can tell stories.  You can learn alot about a kid by spending a few hours looking at their photos!  Some told me things that made me cry.  Some told me things that made me crack up laughing.  Some told me things that inspired me.

Some of the best pages I have seen over the years have been made by kids.  Memories are important to them. They love to share their stories too!  Why not let them make a scrapbook of their own!  You might be surprised at what they come up with!
