Select the photographs that will be included in the storybook. These can come from family photos, magazines or newspapers. Steer your child toward a selection of photos that coheres into a storyline for the book. However, keep in mind that choosing more than eight might make the project difficult for younger children.
Gather the supplies to create the storybook. Aside from multicolored construction paper or printer paper, find ways to make your child's storybook colorful and exciting. This includes the use of multicolored markers, pencils or crayons, as well as glitter glue or stickers.
Choose the chronological order for the photographs. The story must be told in the correct order to be read properly. This develops the storyline for the book.
Write the story to accompany the photos, or encourage the child to write it down, depending on his age. These words differ from captions by advancing the story. For instance, for a photo of a child in a car, write "Katie was very excited to go to the Canyon" instead of "The girl sits in the car."
Decorate the book using the markers and other supplies. This is best done after the photographs are in place and the story has been written, as it is now clear what the theme and style of the book are. Let your child have fun with the process and express herself creatively.
Bind the pieces of paper to preserve the book. This can be done through printing companies like Kinkos or done at home. Staples are an easy and effective way to bind a small book. Punching holes in the book and binding it with yarn can be aesthetically pleasing and effective.
