Make a Slam Book

Did you ever do this as a ‘tween? A Tween is a girl between 10 and 12, not quite a child and not yet a teenager. We made slam books to share a little of ourselves with our friends, kind of like those goofy internet quizes I get even now.

It starts out by taking a lined notebook and numbering each page one to 26. You can leave a few pages blank to draw on (flowers etc) and definately the last few pages for autographs, yearbook style. The numbered pages will have headings like those below, after the first page, which would be name, and you can add phone number and address if you wish. This does make it easier for Mom when Birthday time rolls around!

Feel free to decorate each page if you wish. So you understand that each person pics a number ( I just did #17) and I answer on the line for 17 on each page. I can’t go onto another line or I take someone else’s space! When you’re done you’ll have a page of favorite colors, etc. Here are some page toppers to start you off. Feel free to copy and paste these onto a doc to enlarge and paste onto the top of each page.
