• Print a few templates from the selection provided to begin a children's' scrapbook. You can print as many pages as you'd like to start the project.

• Once printed, fill in your moving scrapbook pages with photos, drawings and writings of your experience during the move. Photos can be of your family looking for new houses or packing boxes, your new yard, and/or the trip along the way to the new house.

• Write about your thoughts and experiences during the move in the sections provided. Your journal entries can be about what you'd like to remember about your old home or your excitement about the new home to come.

• Recording events and experiences as before, during and after, is a good way to show progress. Of course, this is a creative project and it is completely up to you!

To get started, all you need are a few key supplies. You'll need some colorful non-toxic markers, a pen or pencil, a disposable (or other) camera and non-toxic glue or double-sided tape. When searching for supplies, you may find packages labeled “acid free.” Acid free supplies help keep your scrapbook from changing color or becoming weathered over time.

Adding mementos from your experience make your scrapbook complete. These can be small items like your old house key or a ticket to a ball game you went to after settling in. Use the markers to decorate your book pages. Borders and backgrounds are fun to add and make your story come alive. You also can paste each page onto construction paper or colored poster board to make your book more durable.

There are a number of ways to bind the scrapbook. One easy way is to use a three-ring binder and punch corresponding holes into the pages you've created. Another way is to punch two holes along the left-hand side of each sheet and bind the pages together using paper fasteners or ribbon.
