Scrapbooking Toddler Memories
by Rachel Paxton
Toddlers give us many opportunities to take great photographs for
scrapbooking. I've listed some activities you can do with your
toddler that will give you a chance to take some wonderful
pictures that will last a lifetime. If you haven't gotten out
much lately, use these ideas to spark your imagination and have
some fun with your little ones!
- Haircuts
- Swimming lessons
- Throwing rocks in the river
- Christmas, Easter
- 4th of July, family reunions
- Riding tricycle
- Flying a kite
- Blowing bubbles
- Playing in sandbox
- Playing at playground
- Picnics
- Playing in the sprinklers
- Fingerpainting
- Birthday parties
- Helping dad
- Camping
- Going to the zoo
- Visiting grandparents or great-grandparents
- Eating popsicles
- Playing with pets
Remember to always take more pictures than you think you'll need
and invest in a large memory card for your digital camera
(they're cheap). When trying to capture photos of my toddlers.
I've found that only half of my pictures turn out because the
boys move so fast! You can always delete the ones you don't want
later. Have fun picture taking...you'll get some of your best
candid shots at this age.
