My mother-in-law has given these books to my kids when they turned two years old. I have helped several of my friends make them as well.
There’s a photo for each letter of the alphabet. Some of my friends have pasted multiple photos on each page but I like the simplicity of one photo per letter. Some of our books have fabric covers and some are just plastic covers with a piece of paper slipped in front. Any way you do it, the kids LOVE, LOVE, LOVE having their own books.
I have used small 5.5 X 8.5 inch binders with a 1-inch ring for these books. The page protectors fit a half sheet of paper. They also measure 5.5 x 8.5 inches. I go to local scrapbook stores to find the paper and use their dye-cuts. Most stores let you use their dye-cuts for free if you buy their paper!
