Whimsical photo bookplates are a fun way to spark a new reader's interest in her growing library. They make a great gift for family members too; just make a bunch and wrap them up with a classic storybook or new favorite.
What you'll need
- 1 piece of 8 1/2- by 11-inch white card stock
- Pencil
- Ruler
- Paper in various patterns and colors
- Photographs or digital images
- Markers
- Glue stick
- Scissors
How to make it
Using the pencil and ruler, divide the card stock into 6 sections; ours were 4 1/4 by 3 2/3 inches.
Have your child use the decorative papers, photos, and markers to create a collage in each section and glue all of the pieces in place.
Write "From the Library of ..." or another plate-worthy saying on the designs and have your child sign her name.
Color-copy the sheet as many times as you'd like, cut the plates apart, and use a glue stick to affix them to the insides of your child's books.
