Family flip book :)

I've been trying to think of a way to help Aiden learn his family members seeing as how we're all stuck out on an island in the middle of the ocean & my family is in Virginia.

                              Found one!

Ok, I made it up. Or saw in somewhere with animals in ECE II my senior year in high school...
something like that. Aiden loves seeing everyone on skype, so I figured this would be perfect!

But anyway, I decided to make a "Flip picture book" of all our our family!
I love the fact that the lamination sheets protect the index cards from sticky fingers and slobbery kisses.

If you're curious, (it's SUPER easy) here are my materials list

-5x7 index cards
-whole punch
-glue stick
-Self laminating sheets (I had about 6, it just depends on how many cards you use)
-Pictures of family members (I printed them out on regular computer paper)
-Clasping rings


(excuse the low quality crappy pics, I went to get my camera & the battery was dead)

It's really simple!

Step 1 : search through the computer & jack all my relatives pictures off facebook ;) (Sarah helped expedite this process with her skills)

Step 2 : Use word to print above mentioned pictures off (I cropped some of their faces)

Step 3 : Glue picture onto index card

(yes, my workstation was my carpet & my son's hallmark book..dont hate)

Step 4 : I used Zaner-bloser handwriting to write the names, I just remember writing everything Zaner-bloser in Mrs.Stratton's class.

Step 5: I dont have a picture, but this part is a bit frustrating - Use the self laminating sheets to cover and protect your card

Most of the cards, there are a couple that aren't here because they weren't finished yet.

Step 6: Punch the whole in the top corner and feed the ring through, and you are done!



Ta-da!

Aiden has been walking around with this saying "Naaaaana.. Naaaaaaaaaaaaaana" I giggle everytime he says it :)

enjoy!
