Maker Monday: Summer Scrapbook

Summer vacation is so much fun that you want the memories to last a lifetime. With this Maker Monday project kids can create a Summer Scrapbook made from the simplest of materials. This easy project can be a treasure to look back on in years to come, like a mini time capsule.

Kids can paste in and save movie ticket stubs, printed out photos, or brochures from visits to attractions like the zoo or museum. Add even more personal touches with drawings of special days and friends.

With this design, pages can be added as the summer fills with events and activities.
