Child's Art Scrap Book

If your child loves to draw / paint / doodle, create a scrap book for them using a plain note book and some sticky tape.

My eldest, Taryn, loves doodling on small pieces of paper about the size of 10cm x 10cm. These papers are normally scattered around the house, on the dining table and between the sofa cushions. Throwing her work away seems discouraging, so why not systematically store it in a booklet. Strangely, I had one with green paper... too awful for writing anything in it, but perfect for a scrap book.
She tells me stories depicted in her art. Like the ones above which are about sea creatures. Pretty amusing, i would say.
Looks like an Aladdin's Night type of story, but according to the artist, it's not a camel, it's a dinosaur (hello, green in colour?) she's on.
