Make Your Own Book
It's easy and fun to make your own book at home. You can use photographs of your family to make a very special personal book or cut out pictures of animals, toys or anything else that you think your baby will enjoy from magazines and catalogues. To make these into a beautiful and hard wearing book that your baby will enjoy, slip the pictures into a photo album with clear plastic pages. You can also try putting them into plastic bags with a zip-lock and sew them together or mount them on cardboard and hold pages together with staples or tape.
