Back to School Keepsake

“They grow up so fast”.  As a mother we know this all to well.  Create a keepsake book to track their progress throughout the year.  Start off by making a  “Do not Open” packet at the beginning of the school year.  At the end of the year you and your child can open it and add it to the keepsake book.  It’s amazing to see how much they change in just one school year.  Instructions and templates can be downloaded by clicking on the photo

    I love this idea! My 5th grade teacher kept different things we did, such as tests, letters, writing, etc… When I graduated from High School, I got a packet in the mail from my old teacher. It was my old schoolwork from 5th grade. It was so much fun to look back at where I was then, compared to where I was now!

    Hello Kristine,
    I just found your website today, as I was looking for templates to design my sons first school keepsake book…
    The better I found your great option to print a already “designed” version…
    And the idea with the time capsule is just great!
    Thank you so much for this!
    I´ll start to print it off right now!
