My son has found a new interest in drawing lately. He loves drawing out designs for crazy houses and cars he makes up. I wanted to make him his own little sketchbook he could take around with him. We have coloring books, but having a blank sketchbook is so much better. It encourages my son to use his own imagination :)
So here's what I came up with... simple sketchbooks with cereal box covers filled with good old computer/ copy paper. These are super quick and easy to make.
Materials:
cereal box rectangles- cut to desired size
paper- cut to desired size
hole puncher
string
Step 1: Punch holes in your paper and cereal box covers along the sides, making sure the holes all line up when stacked together.
Step 2: Place paper inside the cereal box covers and with the holes lined up, slip a piece of string through each of the holes along the side. Loosely tie the strings together.
There you have it! A simple sketchbook just waiting for you or your child to use some imagination on.

ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous idea! I wish my son liked drawing. He hates it. I may make one for myself though.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute idea and I love the repurposing of the cereal box. Don't little one just love the cereal boxes anyway :) Thanks so much for linking up to Creative Thursday. Can’t wait to see what you share this week! Have a wonderful week.
