Making Memories Month by Month (CTP 2399) will help you create a memorable keepsake that will be cherished by parents for years to come.
When I was working in our retail store we made a sample scrapbook. We placed a simple display of the sample and the Making Memories book on a counter. Every day we had to replace the Making Memories books. The books seemed to just disappear. The sample book was all a teacher needed to see. The book was sold!
If you go back in my blog to November 17, 2009, you can see all the pages of the sample book.
I have taken the sample book and Making Memories to every show that I have done for CTP for the last four years. A few weeks ago I started putting things together for NAEYC which will be in Anaheim, CA, in November. I cannot find my sample book anywhere. I have literally looked all the way from Texas to California with no luck.
Finally, last Monday I decided I might as well start making a new one. Since Kate is in Kindergarten she is helping me with the projects. Here are some of the pages that we have finished.

Remember, for little ones, drawing pictures is a form of writing. Poems and songs are included in the book. Encourage the children to memorize the poems or sing the songs. |
A digital camera is your best friend. Add pictures of activities from the month. |
All of the art projects in the book are fun. There is at least one hand print or foot print project for each month.
The spider in the web is a thumb print.
The pumpkin is a collage of orange, red, and yellow tissue paper.
Each month is a double page spread. |
Hand-print turkey. |
We give thanks. Check out our turkey. |
Making Memories Month by Month is one of my favorite books.
At one time they tried to discontinue it, but I cried until they made it available again. It also comes as an e-book so you can order it, and use it immediately. Check it out at www.creativeteaching.com .
