Large Papier Mache Scrapbook - 12 Page

The Large Papier Mache Scrapbook - 12 Page is a beautifully textured, tactile book ideal for capturing memories, milestones, and creative expression. With its sturdy hard cover and natural-feel papier mâché pages, this scrapbook offers children a high-quality canvas to explore themes such as personal identity, celebrations, hobbies, and dreams through visual storytelling.

Measuring 30cm square, it provides ample space across 12 pages for children to add photos, drawings, fabric, glitter, feathers, borders, stickers, and other embellishments. This format not only supports fine motor development and creativity, but also encourages thoughtful reflection, sequencing, and planning as children title each page, set themes, and explore the who, what, why, and where behind their content.

A great classroom activity suggestion is to use this scrapbook as a class birthday book-each page decorated for a different month of the year, where children can write their names and mark their birthdays. This turns the scrapbook into a living classroom resource, helping students celebrate each other and anticipate upcoming birthdays.
