Mommy School -ABC books

This week we took on a large project for mommy school. If you know me, you know that my kids and I like to make books. We've made books about shapes, colors, numbers, cars, the ocean, books for sacrament mtg...you get the idea. Our books have been made a variety of different ways using a wide assortment of supplies - clear contact paper, lamination, construction paper, card stock, magazine pics and photos...until now....we went high tech all the way!

TUESDAY: I wanted to revisit the alphabet (mostly for Emry's sake). So we decided to arm ourselves with cameras, paper, pencils and a bag for found treasure and take a walk around our neighborhood. Off we went, discussing the things around us and enjoying the sunshine. It took a little prodding on my part to get the ball rolling, but they caught on pretty quickly.























WEDNESDAY: We went through all the photos we took and decided which ones we wanted to have included in our "most awesomest book yet". Then that night while the kids were in bed I arranged the pages in photoshop and printed everything out.

THURSDAY: We cut the covers (out of cereal boxes). Decorated the covers using markers and our mad artistry skills. Then we (by we I mean Luke and I, Emry was in charge of keeping Carley busy) sewed the pages and book covers together.
Viola! A masterpiece to be proud of for sure.
