We had a fun family night learning how to create scrapbook pages from favorite photos. And best of all - this program was led by one of our own learners who scrapbooks as a hobby!
We told families in advance (by flyer and in our phone calls) to bring their own photos - we also had some photos of them from previous family nights, just in case they forgot. I met several times with the learner/program leader to guide her in how to lead a class and to plan the program, decide on materials and review what we had on hand, and shop at our local Creative Reuse store for what we lacked. (I also did a small amount of shopping at Michael's at her direction.) Our learner led a great program, telling our families not only how to make fun and beautiful scrapbook pages with their kids but also how to use the craft and the photos as a springboard for family storytelling time. Each family got to take home a tote bag with scrapbooking materials and a little photo album.
