That is a really good idea. I make scrapbooks for my stepdaughter and she loves them. This would be a good way to get her more involved.

Very cute idea. I am always looking for inexpensive ideas for craft projects for kids at the Library. If I am looking at this right--Do the bags have a pocket that you could use too?

Joy if you leave the bags opened after they are stapled together...they can use them to put pictures or anything inside the opening...just like a pocket...Enjoy

Thanks Buddy. We have a Friday off of school due to Parent-Teacher Conferences next month. I think I will plan a craft day at the Library and use this idea.
