Get your kiddos writing and creating with this Summer Memory Book! Let them be the author and illustrator and create a personalized book filled with their summer highlights!
You will need: blank book, glue, tape, crayons, markers, and pictures.
1. Have your child arrange the pictures as they want mounted in their book.
2. Tape and/or glue the pictures onto the desired pages.
3. Write description of each picture (excellent way to get your little one writing).
4. Once completed, allow your little author/illustrator to present their new book. I made a special “author’s chair” for my son to read his new book aloud to his sister and me.
Try these:
Hygloss Products Inc. HYG77640 Mini Bright Books pack of 10 assorted colors
White Hardcover Blank Book, 11 x 8-1/2 , 14 Total Pages; no. ASH10705

This is a great idea for a summer activity! And kids can get really creative in personalizing their memory book. #toddlerfunfriday
Excellent idea! The next best thing to creating memories is to document them! Thanks for linking up with us at Thursday Favorite Things!
A cute idea! He looks very pleased with it as well! 🙂 x
What a great idea! We’ve done a few cool things this summer. I’m sure the kids would love to make a memory book. Thanks for linking up and sharing with us at Funtastic Friday. Please join us again for this week’s party.
Thank you for hosting and for having me at Funtastic Friday! I look forward to joining again soon!
Lovely idea to record what happened this summer! This would also inspire kids to do more so that there will be more in the book! #letkidsbekids
Thank you! I like your point that it should inspire the authors to write more, so that there is more in their books. 🙂
Lovely idea, it’s nice for children to record their fun memories.
Thanks for linking #LetKidsBeKids
What a marvelous (and simple) idea! We always make a bucket list come the end of the school year, but we’ve never actually chronicled all that we do! Thanks for this nugget of inspiration! 🙂 Have a great day!
This is such a great idea! Our son has been snapping pictures all summer long. Now to get them printed and to pick up a few supplies you mentioned 🙂
How fun!
Summer will last forever!

Hi Caitlin. What a wonderful idea. The kid’s summers really do go by so fast. It’s fantastic as a memory and an activity for them to do during the summer. I’ll be doing this for my kids come Christmas time when we have our long summer break here in Australia. I’m featuring this post at tomorrow’s Thriving on Thursdays. Thank you so much for coming. Can’t wait to see what you bring this week.

This looks like an awesome post, thanks for linking it up at this weeks Merry Mondays!
Thank you! I look forward to joining Merry Monday again for sure!
Thanks for linking to the Frugal Family Linky. We are doing something similar as well. It will be so cool to look back on in years to come.
Make a tactile summer memory book with your child who is blind or visually impaired so they can remember what they did over summer break and share with their classmates in the fall!
What a great idea!! Thanks for sharing!
This is an awesome idea! Thanks for sharing at Merry Monday, hope to see you again next week!
