Kate's Book
I was at the local used book store yesterday looking for a particular board book, "Animal Sounds," for Charlie. I had it when the girls were little, but can't seem to find it for this go around. Unfortunately, they didn't have it; but when I got home, I thought that we could try to make our own animal sounds book. I told Kate (our 6 year old) about my idea, and she went right to work! I was thrilled because I had wanted her to work on her writing today anyway. She carefully wrote, "The cat says, 'Meow,'" on the first page and drew a cat, and on and on she went! Claire wanted to get in on the action, so she drew her versions of the animals. Marc and I were in hysterics looking at Claire's pictures! And Kate's book turned out so cute! Ran over to Staples today to get them laminated and bound. Keepsake forever (and Charlie might just learn his animal sounds)!
Side note: We went all out and got every page laminated, and Claire only
drew on one side of each piece of paper, so it got expensive. If I had
to do it again, I would cut the papers in a little less than half so
they can fit 2 on each sheet of laminate, or if you want to do it really
cheap, just laminate the front and back cover!
