A cartoon album is a perfect project to perfect your drawing schools. Create a flip book or just sketch out ideas for cartoon characters that you have. Start by drawing characters that you have been thinking about. Then, start drawing your characters performing different actions. On the following pages, draw the worlds that these characters come from. Start drawing your own political cartoons with funny captions on topics covered in the media.
Scrapbooking can range from a collection of your favorite newspaper and magazine clippings to a collection of everything you run across that involves your favorite topic. For example, if you love movies, collect everything that has to do with movies and put it in your scrapbooking album. Those things could include movie admission tickets, autographed napkins from your favorite actors or earrings you bought at an auction worn by your favorite actress of all time.
Family memories should be cherished. Keep a camera handy for every holiday so that you don't miss a moment. Start a family tradition. Schedule a special day every year when the family goes out and takes pictures of one another and has a fun and crazy time. Create a chronological picture album of your family over the years. It doesn't have to be a special holiday or a vacation. Baby albums are popular with first-time parents. Create cute little stories about their first steps, their first temper tantrum and even take pictures of them while they are sleeping.
Art is one way to teach children to express themselves. Shy children can tell you how they feel about the world around them with art. A fun art album project for the children is finger painting. It can also discourage them from drawing on the walls. Give them the album with the blank pages and some child-friendly finger paint. Ask them to paint you a picture of a pony, a pirate ship or a princess, or let them decide. Use this project as a way to keep them busy while you have other chores to do.
