With all the camps, beach trips, hikes and lazy days of summer, give your child a way to save all of the memories. Your kids will love to look back on them for years to come and share with grandparents or those that are far away.
Capture it
Whether going away on vacation or making it a staycation, let your child take photos on a disposable camera. Your kids will love having a camera of their own and being surprised when they see the prints.
Frame it up
After they’ve developed their photos, create a collage. Let your keiki help with the layout. Once done, frame it and hang it in their room.
Stick a magnet on it
Create magnets out of photos by using magnetic paper found at most office supply or craft stores. Attach a photo to it, cut around the photo and then hang your magnets on the fridge as summertime art.
Create an old fashioned scrapbook
Have your child collect ticket stubs, or other memorabilia from their summer fun. Create a scrapbook of photos and other goodies, letting them design it. The younger ones can dictate what to write on each page.
Go techy
Let your older child create a private website online. They can use platforms such as wordpress or blogger to create sites that can only be seen by those that have the password. Let your child share photos and write stories about their summer time fun and then their loved ones, near and far, can log in to read them and stay up to date. SB
