School Memories
Save classmates’ autographs. Collect school photos. It’s easy to make a colorful book to hold a year’s worth of your best memories.
1. Remembering your school year is a cinch with this easy-to-make autograph and memory book.
2. With Crayola® Scissors, cut posterboard for the back and front covers. Fold the cover. With Crayola Erasable Colored Pencils, draw and color it. Use your imagination to create designs, such as your school logo or mascot. Use your school colors—decorate your book however you like!
3. Use the eraser to remove some color. Then add new details to your design. You can make words such as Autographs, your school name, or your grade stand out SO easily.
4. To add pages, fold several pieces of paper together to fit inside your cover. Cut along the fold lines to create pages. Insert them inside your cover. Punch holes through all of the pages. Tie them together with ribbon or string.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.
Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.
String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.
- Begin the school year by creating these booklets. Add pages for important events as the year unfolds.
- Brainstorm to remember and then write about all of the important events of the school year.
- Try relief printing, a similar technique.
- Children with special needs may need help to measure pages, punch holes, and tie ribbon.
- Create similar books for poetry, short stories, sketchbooks, and other records.
- Assessment: Note how well designs reflect student interests and personalities. Look for detail and creativity.
