Finding crafts that are fun for the kids but not too much work for mom can be a challenge. This one is particularly perfect for both mom and child as it involves lots of creativity but little clean up. Not only that, with this DIY child’s book project they are making something that will be special for years to come and not something that will be collecting dust on a dresser, but put to good use again and again.

Next, the pages are laminated. If you don’t have your own machine, your local copy place can help you out with this step. (Tip: Have the kids do two pages per 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper, that way you can laminate 2 at a time.)
Next, cut the pages to size, hole punch and tie with twine:
These books are endless fun to look at!
