Finished my DIY Kids Activity Books!

Whoo I have been working on the content for these books for so long that it is awesome to see them done! They are now printed and have their finishing touches so they should be good to go!

Here is the final product:


We stitched down the side and then wrapped a ribbon around the edge to make it look more like a book with binding. I think the kids should love them and they will pair perfectly with my DIY crayons that are already done!

I added more pics, what we used for content, and directions if you are interested in my Bio under Paper.

    The content was really the tough part. I took bits and pieces from a lot of different places. I took templates that I found online for kids activity books and then just took the parts I wanted. Heather let me take some from hers too. You can also google "make your own crossword or word find" and make them for free with whatever words you want.

    If you want a copy of ours feel free to post or PM me with your email address and I would be happy to send it along.

    Danielle, as always, these are fantastic! Haha, I have to say, as soon as I saw a DIY post by you I was like "yaaay, Danielle did more DIY!!!"

    ... on that note ... as long as you don't mind sharing, could you send me a copy of those, too? :) I think you have my email, but let me know if you don't.

    So awesome!! I'm still working on mine, it's good to see the end result (even though mine won't look nearly as good!).

    PS - have always LOVED your crayons, what a cute idea!

    I thought I recognized some of that content!  They turned out really nice.  I like your binding idea way better than my ribbons.  Did you sew it with a sewing machine?  That's sounds way cool.
