Scrapbooking Baby’s Favorite Toys
Now that baby can sit up and roll over, it’s time for him to occupy himself. Sit baby in the playpen or crib. Give them one toy at a time and see how interested they are in each one. Toys that light up or play music will stimulate baby more. When my oldest son was a baby, we strapped a toy to his crib that played music and scrolled lighted pictures across a screen.
His little eyes were glued to that toy especially in the early morning while it was still dark and the light from the toy filled the room. My niece likes to play with an angel bear that sings “Jesus Loves Me” when you press his foot. Baby’s fascination with new things is refreshing. You’ll remember your own childhood wonder.
Picture Ideas:
As baby plays with each toy, snap a picture. The more intense photos will be the ones you take when baby is playing and squealing and not paying any attention to you. Try to capture the look of curiosity on their faces as they examine each toy.
Get photos of baby with the same toys over the months to show his growth.
Scrapbooking Ideas:
Stickers of teddy bears and other cuddly animals would be perfect to decorate this page. The title of the page can be “My Favorite Things” like the song from The Sound of Music. Here’s another idea if baby has chosen several favorite toys. Find a sticker of a clown or a juggler with their hands outstretched.
If juggling items are part of the juggler sticker, cut them off. Arrange your pictures of baby in a circle above the juggler’s head as if he were juggling baby and his/her favorite toys. To go along with the juggling idea, choose scrapbook paper with a Big Top circus design.
