Familia, traditions, culture and education can all be found in this little
Alphabet Picture Book/Bilingual Alphabet Picture Book
As a familia, we made this picture book for my son when he was three. He LOVES this book. Two years later, he still sits down and looks through this book but now being able to recite the alphabet as he flips the pages! It totally makes my day when I see him flipping through it.
Keep it simple, is my advice to you when making this.
I had tons of ideas flowing through my head when I started on this project. I don’t scrapbook, but in my head I was thinking this will be my great debut to scrapbooking. After much thought I decided to keep it simple, my husband and son helped me make it. It’s definitely not going to win any major scrapbooking awards, but my son knows we All worked hard on it and made it with mucho amor.
Supplies:
Clear Contact Paper or take it to get laminated
glue
scissors
stickers
book rings
15 scrapbook paper sheets/construction paper
pictures lots of them
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Look over your pictures and come up with a list people, objects, etc… that will work for each letter in the alphabet. Get silly and creative. For example, for the letter E we used this silly picture below and said E is for Ewwww. He loved it! If you´re doing a bilingual book use A for Abuelita, B for Burro…..
2. Cut 15 sheets of paper the same size. These will be your ABC pages and front and back cover.
3. Start cutting out pictures and glue them on.
4. Use your stickers to embellish the pages. I used alphabet stickers for each page.
5. Laminate each page with clear contact paper.
6. Hole punch your pages and add book rings.
This is a great gift idea for grandchildren for all those crafty abuelita’s or even for a babyshower gift!
¡Me encanta esta idea, gracias por compartirla!
Ana Maria,
Gracias! We had a fun time making it! Thanks for stopping by with your sweet note of encouragement.
Visiting from TGIF but as another mama raissing bilingual babies this is not my first visit here.
Love the alphabet book and the idea of making it bilingual. We use a different alphabet in Japanese but could definitely make a separate one.
One my my toddler`s favourite books is a book I made when we were doing baby sign. Pictures of family members and his favourite things so that I could sign them to him as we flicked through. I made it when he was 7 months old and he is now just over 2 and looks at it almost everyday. Now his little brother also enjoys looking through it!
Lulu,
Your sign language book is such a great idea! Wow, Japanese language learning. I guess if your getting it as a baby it will be so much easier to learn than me as an adult trying to grasp it. Have fun!
Love this! We have our Kitchen Fun and Crafty Friday Link Party going on now and would love for you to share this! http://kitchenfunwithmy3sons.blogspot.com/2012/02/kitchen-fun-and-crafty-friday-link_23.html
This is absolutely wonderful!!!
Really love the alphabet book, and really like the papers you picked. Thanks for sharing your creative inspiration at Sunday’s Best Par.tay!
What a fun, creative idea! And I LOVE your blog – so glad you linked up! Thanks for linking up to TGIF! Have a great weekend,
Beth =)
Our sign terminology publication is actually like a great idea! Seriously, Western terminology finding out. I assume in case your setting it up as a baby it’ll be a whole lot easier to understand compared to everyone for person trying to understanding this. Enjoy the fun!
