Memory Books

Here is a cute idea from the M & M's website:

Memory Book
Create a new tradition by making a memory book together with your kids. Then update it once a year as a mini time capsule keepsake.
Prep time: 30 min.
Difficulty: Challenging
What you'll need:

* Felt
* Construction paper
* Yarn, string, thread or cord
* Needle

* Scissors
* Glue
* Crayons, markers or colored pencils

What to do:

1.
Cut felt or paper to the desired size (these will be the pages of the memory book) and bind by sewing with yarn, string or cord.
2.
Glue-in pieces of construction paper or felt to create pockets for keepsakes and souvenirs.
3.
Each year, a new "chapter" is created, items and information are added to the book, and parents and kids can look back on their past year's experiences.

Makes 1 memory book.

We did these when the boys were younger and they are very cute.
