Instructions
This do-it-yourself coloring book makes an ideal party activity! It can be assembled by Sproutlets at your party, used as a party favor, or created ahead of time as a back-up activity! (Note: The main part of the book should be assembled for Sproutlets in advance)
- Print book template
- Punch holes in the short end of 5 sheets of colored heavy paper
- Lace ribbon or yarn loosely through the holes so that the pages can turn and tie a knot. If you want to get really fancy, you can string a few beads on to jazz up your book.
- Attach the cover and your coloring pages with glue stick or double sided tape, write each child’s name and the date on the books and decorate away.
- Add rhinestones, stickers, feathers, glitter glue or any other beautiful decorative craft materials you can think of to give your special book personal style all your own.
- Hey, hooray-your book is complete! All your guests have had a really fantastic day and have a wonderful keepsake craft to take home.
