Every time I open my email... it seems I have a free photobook waiting at one of the online photo printing services I use... especially when you sign up for a new account.
Here are a few I have used:
These free coupon codes usually only last a short time and always seem to expire on me... because I don't have any idea which photos to put in book form. With Christmas coming up... what a creative way to save money and make a truly unique gift.
Using pictures you already have:
-make a child's personal family photo album. Use and label pictures of family (like grandparents or cousins that they don't see everyday)
-find out your child's favorite subject (ex: dogs) and collect pictures from the internet
-make a themed timeline book from your photo stash ... like Halloween costumes that your child has worn or first days of school or Christmas mornings
Easy picture taking around the house:
-make a book of your child's favorite things around your house (for example: pacifier, cake, doll,)
-take pictures of your child making faces (sad, happy, surprised, silly...)
For those with a little more time on their hands...
here are some fun learning projects to do WITH your kid:
-go on a color hunt with your child and camera and make a color book
-go on an abc hunt with your camera (keep in mind most photo books charge for more than 20 pages... so you may have to double up on a few)
-go on an animal/bug hunt around your home to see what else lives where you live
-find examples of opposites (like hot/cold, dirty/clean, big/small, heavy/light...)
