Make Your Own Joke Book!

A perfect boredom buster

for summer break...

let your kids be authors

and illustrators

of their own

  Joke Book.

"E" (age 7) made this one for her Grammy Bev's birthday.

Grammy Bev has an extensive Penguin collection

so... we made her a Penguin joke book.

A few jokes were found online;

"E" wrote the rest of them. 

(I love her jokes and her drawings

so I had to share)

After writing down the jokes,

we carefully typed them 

on the computer and

printed them on card stock.

Then, we trimmed the card stock

into small pages (3"x5")

and "E" carefully illustrated

each joke with pen and colored in 

with colored pencils.

We bound the whole thing with 

rainbow yarn.

 Little Sister, "C" (age 3) made a page too!

It was a big hit

(and a favorite birthday gift!)
