Default Need help with a baby-proof album to give my 1 year old as a birthday gift!

I want to make her an abc album or something, but I need it to be 'baby-proofed' so that she can have it/play with it.

I'm afraid she'll be too rough on a normal scrapbook. Any ideas?

How about if you laminated the pages, either with Xyron machine or a heatlaminator, or you can go to staples or Kinkos and they can laminate the pages for you.

Though im thinking the edges might be too sharp for a 1 yr old where everything still goes into their mouths!

My SIL did this. Way cute! She laminated the pages and bound it with a rubicoil type binding (think she just had it done at Office Max or Kinko's). Wish I had done this for my kids.

Depending on how big you were planning, I've made (and seen) quiet books created using the "flexible" photo albums that you can find for a dollar or two in the bins at Michael's/JoAnn's!

Danielle, do you have any pictures? I am having a hard time picturing that...the quite books at Michael's.

It does sound like a good idea though!

I like the rubicoil suggestion too, but I'm thinking she might unwind it, kwim?

just a thought but how about using transfer paper on the photos and making a fabric one. You can still stamp and paint on it and it will be child safe.

I just did a quick search because I don't have any handy, but something similar to what's found here:

Obviously you can make a much cuter cover to stick in there! HTH!

Waht about modge podging a kids board book? You can paint over the original book with arcrylic paint. Add photos or diecuts or even stamp. Then modge podge over pages (acts like a varnish).
HTH!

nannersmom, if the baby chewed on it would the varnish hurt her in any way? since it's a chemical? just wondering.

Could you corner round the paper pages and then the laminated pages so the edges would not be so sharp?
