Summer Scrapbooks

I have had a stack of foam scrapbooks sitting in my supplies for a while.  I was saving them for summer.  

It's fun to have a book to write in, but you need a pencil to go with it.  We decided to create snake pencils.  To make one, just twist two pipe cleaners together.

 

Form a head at the top, and add a pipe cleaner tongue.  

 Hot glue some eyes onto the snake and twist onto the pencil.  Snake pencil!

 

How exciting to be able to draw or write in a book of our own!

 

I told the kids that they could also tape their nature finds inside.  Or stick some stickers.  

 

They were suddenly excited to be writing. :)

 

It was hard to put them away for outside time.

 

I made some for my nieces.  Now I just need to get them delivered.
