Tons of Fun and Useful Things for the Genealogist!
Get something cute for your sweeties!
The week of July 26 I will be getting a couple of new things in for babies. Hang in there! I'll get them up here as soon as I can.
Let's get the grandchildren (and children) off and running on journaling! Here is a wonderful journal of pages full of ideas for kids to fill in using pictures or drawings that they create or things they write about.A sample of ideas on pages include: "This is a picture of me", "I can draw a picture of my mom. Her name is ____"., "When I am with my grandma, I like to...", "This is the place that I like to go out to eat", "Of all the things I have, the one that probably cost the most was...", "I am sometimes afraid of...", "Sometimes I worry about...", "The saddest thing that ever happened to me was when...", I think God looks like this", "We celebrate Thanksgiving every fall because..." and it goes on and on! Over 200 pages for the little ones to express themselves! I wish I had one when I was a kid! Measurements: 6-3/4" x 6".
This journals starts out "To the author. The book you hold in your hands can help record the story of you and your world. By filling in the pages, you will change this book into a time machine. Someday, whether you are 25 or 75, you'll be able to travel back in time and remember your vacation trips, the fights and fun with your friends, your worst hair day, special times with your family, and much more. Now, before you are another day older, start recording your history - the history of YOU!"
What a great gift to give to a child or grandchild to help them feel more special as they get to know who they are. Designed for ages 6 - 9, this journal has over 200 pages loaded with questions and suggestions for that special child to express themselves. Some of the page questions/topics are: "If you belong to a group like Girl Scouts or Boy Scouts, tell what your favorite activities are", "Tell about the best surprise you ever had", "This summer I want to learn to...", If your family could go anywhere you wanted on a vacation, where would you go?", "Tell about a camping or outdoor activity you had", "What was the very worst school lunch you ever had?", "Draw a picture of your room as it looks today", "Describe your mom", "The best thing my grandma cooks for me is...", "Tell about a dream you remember" and it goes on and on! These pages do not have a date on them but has a space to put a date, so there is no reason to have to fill in a page daily in a structured manner. Great journals for great kids! Measurements: 6-3/4" x 6".
This journal starts out "This book is a dedication of you! It will show that you are exceptional and unique. As you respond to each question, your thoughts and feelings will reflect who you are and the specialness of you. Your experiences, your dreams, even your fears, make you the person you are today. Someday, a few years from now, or maybe even many years from now, you can look back at your writings and remember your life and thoughts!"This journal is designed for the older child and will be perfect to give as a gift at a birthday or holiday. Here are a few samples questions on the pages included:"If you could choose a time in history in which to live, what would it be? Tell why.", "What rule at school would you like to have changed? How would you change it?", "What is something you've learned from others' mistakes?", "What is a topic that you would like to learn more about?", "What is your favorite sport or recreational activity?", "What do you like to do when you are all by yourself", "What is something you've done that took a lot of courage?", "What countries did your ancestors come from?", "What are your best qualities?", "What is your first memory of when you were very young" and so much more!
