Help me brainstorm scrapbook idea...idea p10, thoughts welcome!

klpmommy · 04-20-2012, 01:32 PM

for Father's Day.

I've made a special one the last four years:

A countdown of a special recent trip
An alphabet book
A numbers/counting book
A book of colors

I need to start planning now what I'm going to do this year. Two of the albums were specific to a vacation (The countdown and alphabet one) and two were "through the years" as a father.

All ideas welcome. Thanks!

A play on his name?

1) A page for each letter of his name?

2) Let the kids think of top 10 reasons they love Dad (the kiddos who are old enough!) and have a page illustrating those "reasons".

We like Daddy because he:
plays with us -- pic of Dad and kids playing pillow fights, etc

3) Dad is our "superhero"?

4) Thanks dad for _____________.

Something relating to a hobby/sport/project he participates in?

Do you take new pictures to go with the theme? Do you have a dress up box?

klpmommy · 04-20-2012, 01:52 PM

No real dress up box.

I will take a few pics as needed, but most of the two "through the years" pics were ones I already had except a few portraits/group shots.

I kind of like the idea of dressing the kids like Daddy and then having them write/tell me (as much as able) "I want to be like Daddy because...."

But I don't think I could get a whole book out of that.

Keep the ideas coming. I'm an internal processor so the more you give me, the more I think about it. Just b/c I don't respond to something specifically said doesn't mean it isn't a good idea.

It just means I need to think more.

I love the idea of a nursery rhyme book. If you had a few props or could make some it could be really cute(I'm thinking of things like putting A in a baby cow costume and making a cresent moon cut out for "hey diddle diddle". Stuff like that).

This idea would be too much work if you had already planned on using existing photos.
