By now you know that we're always looking for quick little projects in our house. These teeny books are for drawing and writing quick little stories inside and can keep them occupied forever. As I read through the ones they have already made, it makes me smile how cute their little writing is. They write everything phonetically and it is really sweet. A little jar full of these is perfect for when they get their wanting-to-make-something itches.
*Every little book we made had a different number of pages inside. I didn't count them out, I kind of just distributed the pages, so some books had more than others. We also cut up some colored index cards for more book covers.
This is a really great project that I would have loved as a kid! (Come to think of it, I would love these now!). My daughter loves all things miniature so you definitely hit the nail on the head with this one!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea! I would love to make these for little gift/promo items! Thanks for sharing :)

what a sweet, easy project! My little guy will love this. I teach piano and put together my own assignment books for my students; the last time I sat down to make them, I couldn't find my stapler to staple down the middle, so I ended up sewing them--like these books--and never went back to the stapler : ) But I never thought of doing little books like these--thanks for the fun idea!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a good cute idea!! Love these.
ReplyDeleteDid you know the Bronte sisters used to write teeny tiny stories in miniature books too, with tiny handwriting - and they went on to write Jane Eyre etc. So perhaps your girls will follow in their footsteps! Mrs B x
ReplyDeleteooh! really?! i would love for my daughter's to follow in their footsteps!

ReplyDeletecute idea, I may even be able to do this on my daughter's hello kitty sewing machine!
ReplyDeleteFUN! I must know how you include your fun font for your photos? Do you have your handwriting as a saved font?
