Last weekend Clare spent half a day putting together a book for Stella for Christmas. The idea and instructions came from here. We explained what she needed to do, handed over the digital camera and told her to go for it. Clare decided that since there were so many pages available, she would do a book of “first colours, alphabet, numbers and nature”.
Clare took three photos of household objects for each colour, wrote the name of each colour, and popped them in the book. She drew pictures for the remaining themes.
She even numbered each page and inserted a contents list into the front. Clare was very proud of herself – she took the book to school the next day to show her teacher (and anyone else who was nearby). I was very proud too! I’m sure that Stella will love it.

What a great fun activity! They love taking photos don’t they?! Jessie was given one of those Fisher Price cameras by Santa last year … she took 678 photos to commemorate our Chrishtmas day!
