Here's a fun gift idea for kids. Our granddaughter has loved horses for a really long time. She collects pictures of them. SOOOOO... Choose a colorful 2" binder (Bright pink's her favorite color.) Get the kind with the clear sleeves on the cover. This was at Target for @$4.50.
I think the "D" ring type is the best so the pages lay flat and don't get messed up.
Find some dividers. I already had these "like new" extras on hand (because I never throw anything away) but I saw some on Amazon for about $1.00.
OPTIONAL: Clear sheet protectors are about 10 cents each on Amazon.com if you want to use them. (I LOVE them and use them for everything, so I buy them in bulk at Costco. Weird, I know.)
Gather some photos or magazine clippings of whatever will be collected in the album... Kitties, airplanes, trains, whatever they love. (I went through a box of old photos my parents had taken in Montana.) Take a sheet protector and cut it in to two pieces. Get rid of the part with the holes. Use double-stick tape to place the pictures on one of the sheets and then slide it into the cover.
You can do the back side too. (If you don't care about the color of the cover not showing, then tape them to any blank piece of paper and slide it in.)
Make a title page. Find a picture to use, get some colored paper for a "frame." Print a sheet of paper with a cool font. Tape the photo to the colored paper, and the paper to the white page.
Insert and you're done!
I love my sweet Lauren Girl and I love that sometimes there's time to make a gift.
