An Arts and Crafts Activity
Commission your child to design the family’s next memo/message pad.
Materials Required:
- Paper
- Crayon (black)
- Nearby copy center
Instructions:
How’s your child at drawing rectangles? How about writing out a simple sentence (or copying one with your help)? If either of these are in the repertoire, you can commission your child to design the family’s next memo/message pad.
The drawing part is the most fun.
Give your child a black marker (it reproduces best) and have him or her set up the basic scheme on a sheet of paper of appropriate size.
The only real requirement is that there be plenty of white space near the center of the page for you to write messages on.
A headline is also recommended: “Things We Have To Remember” or “Messages” would do the trick. (Your child may have interesting headline ideas to talk over, too.)
Next, take your child with you to the copy shop. Most will be able to produce the pads in a tear-away format, but you can also use loose sheets.
What better writing pad can you ask for than a Kid Original?

It’s the first time when i’ve seen your site. I can see lots of hard work has gone in to it. It’s actually great.
