Veronika’s birthday has come and gone, so we thought it would be fun to put together a memory scrapbook. Not only is this a perfect art activity for toddlers (markers! glue! glitter!), but you’ll have a wonderful keepsake at the end.

I put together several sheets of construction paper and folded in the center to make a crease. Together, Veronika and I went through all her cards and photos from the day and we taped them into the book.

She loved looking back at party images. “There’s the sheep!” she said, remembering her tractor-themed tour at a local farm.

Now it was time to decorate each page. Don’t worry about making this scrapbook look professional; messiness is encouraged here!

Veronika then wanted to dribble glue all over the cover. “More glue!” she kept insisting.

When we had a nice big goopy layer, we sprinkled glitter on top. Shake off any excess and let dry.

A few more stickers and scribbles inside completed the book.

I love knowing that she can leaf through this booklet for fun memories in the years to come.
