I got this idea from a book called "Curious George and Me", in which kids can fill in the blanks throughout the book with details about themselves. This idea is so easy to replicate in a do-it-yourself project! Here are some ideas for the pages in the book:
All About Me - name, age, birthday, where I live
My Family - pictures and names of family. Pets you have, pets you wish you had.
Things I like - favorite color, food, game, place to go, book etc.
My handprint - trace or stamp a handprint
My first (you pick the big event that is relevant) - sleepover, day of school, time on an airplane etc
Where I live - type of house/apartment, trees, yard etc. You can also ask how many rooms/doors/sinks etc are in the house.
A story written by me - you can write it verbatim
What I love about my mommy/daddy etc - also write verbatim
Draw a picture of me, my family
When I grow up I want to be...
I can write my own name...
Words I can spell...
You can tailor the book to suit your own child. The Curious George book, for example, has a whole section on school, and you child might not go yet. You can use stickers and crafts and decorate the book when you are done. What a great keepsake too! Better yet, do one every summer and have them to compare and look back on.
