Drawings Collection Book

I have been encouraging my son to draw and colour for quite some time. He didn't seem interested. I can tell from how he refused to colour his school homework. Even if it only a tiny picture. If it's painting and making a mess, yes he love it.

So I thought this will be a good craft. Hopefully he will find interest in drawing and colouring in his own drawings collection book.

Material needed:

• Paper (we are using 11" x12.5")
• String
• Colouring medium (we used colour pencils)

How to do it:

1. Lay all the paper together.
2. Put a few paper clips to secure it.
3. Punch a few holes on one side of the collected papers.
4. Use the strings to tie them up.
5. Decorate the cover.

The fancy book way:
:: That's what we did ::

1. Cut the papers in staggering sizes.
2. Colour on edge of all the paper.
3. Gather the paper with the biggest piece at the bottom.
4. Continue with the instructions for the normal book.

Note:

If you have those fancy scissors that cut out zig-zag or wavy line, you can let your child use that instead of the normal scissors. The effect is nicer.
