Countless memories are built during the formative days of childhood. If there is an excellent medium to record them in any way, it will be the scrapbook.

It is true that we cannot capture all the events, but we can definitely discard the most memorable ones in the pages.

If you’ve decided to make a scrapbook together with your child, in addition to guiding them with little prompts in the journal, you’ll probably need some clever ideas to bring back those best memories.

Here are several best-selling “stories” that you and your child can scrapbook about:

A) History of the baby’s birth

Children love to read stories about themselves as babies. Having pages related to the birth of your child will make you feel how much the family loves you.

– Photo of mommy pregnant with the baby.

– Who waited for the birth?

– Who came to visit the hospital?

– Weight, height, doctor, hospital data.

– Parents’ feelings about the birth of their child.

– Funny stories that happened.

– Documentation of baby milestones.

– What is your children’s favorite bedtime story?

– Photo of your child’s favorite toys.

Since there is a possibility that photos will not be taken during the birth, a good alternative would be to make a page about significant or historical events that happened on the day or year of your child’s birth.

Another idea is to have your child make a page with his name and birthday on it. Record your child’s feelings about her name. Why did you and your husband come up with that name? What is the meaning of the name? Find out which famous people share your child’s name. Find out which famous birthdays share your child’s birthday. What is the best birthday party your child has ever had?
