What You Need:

paper
a paper punch
blunt-tipped scissors
a pencil, pen, and crayons
yarn, pipe cleaners, or staples
glue

Directions:

Make a booklet of five or six pages with your child's name or picture on the cover. Your child can help punch holes close to one edge and thread yarn through the holes to keep the pages together. You can also bind the book with twisted pipe cleaners, or staple the pages together. Let your child decide what will go on each page in this book about his life, for example people in the family, his favorite toys, or his pet. If he's old enough, let him write or draw his book. If not, have him dictate the contents for you to write.
