STORYTIME: My five year old baby is off to school. As excited as we are to share this new experience and season with him, I am definitely feeling sentimental.
This craft is going to be great for many reasons: the booklet can be combined with a flower, treat, or gift card for the class/teacher teacher, it’ll work great for few more years, and when duplicated for your own keeping. It creates a cherished memento; one with a loving note to your child, to one day pass back to them. I’m already gushing with feelings over this lol. If you are too, I’m here to help you parents out!
PREP
Print the necessary sheets- download them here and here first, then print.
Print a photo as well if you don’t have one to use. *I took a photo with my phone, sent it to my email, and then printed a wallet sized one.
QUESTIONS
Ask your child for their answers to each question/statement and write it down.
DRAWINGS
1. Have your child draw their family portrait or glue a family photo instead.
2. Your child can then color the drawing or leave it as is.
Memento Option-Photocopy the filled-out pages and cut them out before moving on to the next steps.
ASSEMBLE
1. Cut out the sheets and photo if necessary (cut to size).
2. Fold the construction paper in half and glue on the filled-in sheets and the photo.
3. On the back add a personal note for your child’s teacher.
Memento Option- On the back leave your child a note detailing what you hope they’ll learn, the friends they had, their favorite toys/shows/snacks, funny things they said, etc. Then file it away with the upcoming school year’s art/paperwork.
4. Add a small treat if you’d like and send it off to school!
I’m not crying, you are.
Happy crafting!
