Baby Flash Cards Gift Album
"A new baby is like the beginning of all things - wonder, hope, and a dream of possibilities." - Eda J. Le Shan I love hearing those magic words, "We're having a baby!" That means I get to pull out my scrapbooking supplies and make a special gift for the parents-to-be. Here I've made a fun (and educational) set of flashcards for my baby cousin. Bright colors and friendly animals engage the child, while lamination makes the cards teething friendly. Best of all, this is a meaningful toy that is truly unique. Supplies needed: - 3M Photo Laminating Sheets, 4" x 6"
- 1 large plastic ring - *IMPORTANT* You must use a large, plastic ring - do not use anything small that could pose a choking hazard. Ribbon and cording are also hazards. Metal rings could pinch tiny fingers. Safety first!
- Patterned papers
- Stickers - The laminating sheets work best with thin sheets, so limit your project to flat embellishments.
- Corner rounder punch
- Hole punch
Directions: - Cut cardstock backgrounds to 4" x 6".
- Decorate as desired. Ideas to consider:
A-Z Animals Colors Family Names and Pictures Patterns Nursery Rhymes - Using corner rounding punch, round the corners of each flashcard.
- Place two flashcards back to back and adhere together.
- Following the laminating sheets' instructions, laminate the flashcards.
- Hole punch the corner of each card and clip together.
