Scrapbooking is a very popular hobby these days. It is also a great way to nurture creativity, a sense of family, thankfulness, and imagination in children.  It also helps them feel like they are a part of what interests you and can keep them busy while you make headway on your own scrapbooking endeavors!

I discovered all of this after my sister gave my daughter a scrapbook box as a gift. It was a fantastic idea and a wonderful discovery for my children as they dug through the box each time they were to create a thank-you card, or when they wanted to create a special book, note, or message to a loved one.

We keep the box full of stickers, tape, glue sticks, colored papers, leftover photographs, craft remnants, hole punches, and more. The scrapbook box really has become a valued staple in our home. It is fun to see my girls’ bend their heads diligently over their work as they craft and create something unique.

I would suggest giving a scrapbook box away as gifts to your child’s friends, and even possibly to a friend of your own who has not begun to undertake the adventure of scrapbooking yet.  I think you will find it is a valued resource to have and one that you might find yourself digging into yourself!
