Stimulating Baby : Handmade Baby’s Book of Emotions

I was browsing around for cute things to do with baby and stumbled upon a blog which name I can’t remember at the present time.

Another Mama blogger was saying she had made a Book Of Emotions for her baby with the help of her older kid. She took pictures of her son

looking happy, sad, surprised (…) and put a book together. I thought it was a great idea. I know how much my daughter loves looking at human

faces, and the more familiar the better ! I went to Michaels store to buy some of the things I needed and looked for pictures ! I decided to do it in

French, picked a few words I wanted to illustrate (happy, sad, content, angry, surprised, in love…) and used pictures of her, Papa and myself. I

laminated each picture with the matching word above or underneath it and started punching holes (definitely not the nicest part !).

I attached the whole thing with grey knitting thread and voilà !

Here are a few pictures of my “masterpiece” :

 

Let me know what you think !

    What a cute idea! Preserve all of those cute baby moments while you can!

  4. Great ! I love it ! I’m probably gonna “steal” the idea ! Thank you so much for the inspiration ….
    Can I add that your daughter seems to be an amazing model for this kind of book, she is so expressive !

    • Thanks Noemie ! (I have to start learning the accents code so I can type your name right !)
      Sixtine loved it. She examined each and every single picture and smiled back at the “content” and “heureux” picture !
      I even made a “mort de rire” page! 😉 I am really excited about this. Just make sure to use large prints for the words so
      that your baby can actually see and memorize them ! Don’t hesitate to send me a picture of your son and his emotion book when
      you are done !

  5. Great idea Deb… Thanks for posting this, I might have to embark on my own little project too with Jayden, but maybe just keep the photos online as I’m not a scrapbook sorta guy 😛
    P.S. I love the fatigued look!
