Hoy os voy hablar de Scrapbooking con niños.
Mi hija va a cumplir ocho años en breve y desde hace muchos años muestra interés en lo que hago yo cuando estoy escrapeando. De pequeña le gustaba como todos los niños dibujar, recortar, y hacer manualidades y yo siendo su madre y también profesora de arte me he asegurado de que siempre tuviera tijeras papeles pegamentos y todo lo que necesitaba para fomentar su creatividad. Hace unos meses empezó a tomarlo muy en serio. Me reclamaba fotos porque quería hacer lo mismo que mamá, y entonces buscando en mi caja de fotos encontraba fotos que yo quizás no iba utilizar y se los pasaba y notaba que intentaba imitar mis trabajos poniendo adornos, papeles y títulos a su trabajo.
Me hace mucha gracia y por eso decidí hace unas semanas invertir en comprarle un Smashbook que es donde yo empecé este hobby. Siempre digo que empecé a raíz de que nació ella y conocí este hobby a través de buscar en Internet como documentar sus bellas fotos. Pero realmente pensándolo bien, años atrás había comprado un tipo de álbum y había hecho recortes, journaling y pegado fotos y creo que este fue mi verdadero comienzo en el mundo de Scrap.
Le compre el Smashbook de color lila porque me parecía el más adaptado y que tuviera los colores más vivos y los dibujitos más graciosos para ella. Se lo compré sin decirle nada y juntas hicimos unboxing que podéis ver en un video en mi canal de YouTube. Desde entonces reclama hasta un espacio en mi SCRAPROOM y le he ido pasando cosas que yo sé que no voy a utilizar pero que me da mucha alegría que ella pueda utilizarlos. Hasta le regale mi cizalla y me compré una nueva (eso si baratita pero fantástica - podéis verla también en el mismo vídeo) para que pudiera aprender a manejarla y recortar sus fotos bien.
Laura está encantada. Creo que es muy sano que los niños tengan un hobby que le permite ser creativos. Desafortunadamente todos sabemos que en el mundo de hoy los niños están demasiado enganchados a las máquinas. Soy profesora y lo veo que cada día nos cuesta más engancharse a algo que no sea una pantalla. Laura está feliz con sus papeles de sus tijeras! Ponemos música o podcasts en el fondo y escrapeamos juntas los fines de semana. Creo que es un momento precioso que recordará para el resto de su vida. Va avanzando en sus Smashbook, y ya ha terminado las primeras hojas y lo está haciendo fenomenal. Me veo obligada a imprimirle más fotos porque los utiliza con mucha rapidez. No pasa nada. Mientras esté feliz. En nada quién sabe, tendremos que hacerle un canal de Los Papeles de Laura!
Hi and good day! In today's post I would like to speak about something a bit different but still related to this precious hobby.
Today I'm going to talk to you about scrapbooking with kids. My daughter will be 8 years old soon and she has always been interested in what I do when I'm scrapbooking. When she was small she used to love drawing, cutting, and doing crafts as many children do and being her mother and also an art teacher I have always make sure that she had scissors, papers, glue and everything that she needed to grow and her creativity. A few months ago she started taking it quite seriously. She wanted real photos that she could use to do the same things that mommy did, and that is when I started looking in my box of photos and found photos that I would probably not use and I would give them to her and would notice that she was trying to imitate my style using embellishments, paper and titles for her work. I found this very sweet and a few weeks ago I decided to buy her her very own smash book which is how I myself started this hobby. I always say that I started scrapbooking when she was born because I wanted to document her birth and all the little cute things that she did when she was a baby and on the Internet I found out what Scrapbooking was all about. In reality, thinking about it, years before I had created an album for my husband using journaling, photos and I think that is when I had really started scrapbooking.
I bought her the purple Smashbook because I thought it was the best and cutest one for her. It's got lovely colors and very cute drawings and it's quite childish in a way. I didn't tell her and we even did an unboxing together we you watch on my YouTube channel. (This video is in Spanish). Since then she has even asked for space in my scraproom and I have been passing over things that I'm sure I will not use from my stash. I even gave her my trimmer and bought a new one for myself so she could cut around the photos or the papers that she needs.
Laura is very happy. I think that it's very healthy that kids nowadays have a hobby which allows them to be creative. Unfortunately we all know that in today's world kids are too addicted to screens. I'm a teacher and I see this every day that it is harder and harder to get them interested in anything which is not a screen. Laura is happy with her papers and scissors. We put on music or podcasts and we scrap together and that is a precious moment that I'm sure she will remember for the rest of her life. She's going through her smashbook quite quickly and has already completed the first few pages. I think I need to print more photos urgently. It doesn't matter as long as she's happy. Soon enough we might even have to consider creating her own YouTube channel called Los Papeles de Laura! Who knows?
