Scrapbooking Ideas: 7 Scrapbooking Projects For Kids

When you think of scrapbooking, you usually think of scrapbooking. Have you tried using your scrapbooking materials for other projects? These project ideas are great for scrapbooking with kids.

1. Decorate jars and use them as small storage items in your children’s rooms, such as collections of marbles or collectible game cards. Search your scrapbooking supplies for stickers and decals to embellish jars of any size. Baby food jars and Mason jars work well for this project.

2. Make greeting cards when scrapbooking with your children. Almost any type of scrapbooking material can be used to make cards. Kids will love creating their own Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day or birthday cards.

3. Christmas decorations are easy to make with scrapbooking supplies. For example, Thanksgiving cardstock and decorations can serve as nameplates for the holiday table. Get creative and help your kids make a centerpiece out of paper and scrapbooking supplies.

4. Help your child keep a vacation journal. Before you go on vacation, create a scrapbook to go and have your child complete the album on the go. Select a small album so it’s easy to pack in a child’s handbag. Have premade pages for some of the places you plan to visit. You could even include some prompts for journaling throughout the album. Some examples are “My Favorite Disneyland Attraction” or “Best thing about staying in a hotel.” Then attach a small plastic bag filled with colored pencils or markers, lots of vacation-themed stickers, and some glue to stick on souvenirs and photos from the trip. Let your child do the rest!

5. Children’s scrapbook is an opportunity to make gifts for your family. Flip through any scrapbooking magazine and you’re bound to see a gift project. Your child can use scrapbooking supplies to make picture frames, pencil holders, photo bins, or note cards. Kids can also design pre-made gift scrapbooks, like a recipe album for Grandma or an ABC album for a newborn cousin.

6. Christmas ornaments make great scrapbooking projects for gifts. There is no limit to the types of embellishments you can make with scrapbooking supplies. Don’t be afraid to get dirty and use glitter for this project.

7. Birthday parties and sleepovers are the perfect project to use your scrapbooking supplies with your children. Start by crafting paper invitations and decorations. Have enough materials to keep the theme the same throughout the project. Take the time to create thank you notes at the same time. Then use your scrapbook materials to make napkin rings, name plates, centerpieces, and party decorations. Finally, using the same theme, decorate gift bags for your guests to take home.

You’ll find hours of fun in these scrapbooking projects for kids. In most cases, you have everything you need in your scrapbooking supplies right now. Scrapbooking for children is an opportunity to spend quality time with your children and encourage their creativity and imagination. Try one of these projects today with your child.
