We were provided with a free Artterro bookmaking kit (designed for kids ages 8 and up), and Emily enjoyed hours of fun creating five beautiful books!
The kit came with everything she needed, with the exception of scissors and a glue stick (which we already had on-hand). There were lots several beautiful sheets of paper, and fancy embellishments — very colorful and inspiring!
She quickly got to work making lots of journals to gift to family members for the holidays, and she was SO proud of how nicely her books turned out! I helped bind them together, following the instructions on the package, but the rest she was able to do on her own. I loved the open-ended aspect of this craft kit — rather than following step by step instructions, the kit encourages lots of creativity. There is even an option to create a photo frame by re-using the box!
Good luck!!
