Scrapbooking Ideas For Kids

Have you read the comic ‘Calvin and Hobbes’? If you have not, you are missing on the work of beautiful, innocent and frank imagination through the eyes of a child. Calvin is a more-than-normal imaginative child and tends to have this innate creative quality imbibed in his thoughts and actions; a lot for which he is misunderstood or reprimanded. There are many children who have strong creative instincts and just like other artistic hobbies such as music and dance, crafts and art should be encouraged too. Children need to channelize their energy constructively. Physical energy is one aspect, but the open minded world they possess mentally, has to be explored. There are many creative activities which could be pursued like drawing, painting, clay sculpturing, crafts like making cards, lanterns, posters, etc. One of the interesting ways for your child to explore their imagination and apply it is by making a scrapbook.
