Why not create a baby book for your baby to love?

The teacher in me gets all excited when it comes to making my own books. I notice several of my teacher friends also suffer from the same problem, I guess it is just a classic teacher thing!

There is just something about a personalized and home made book that would have to make any baby feel extra loved. Homemade books also make great gifts.

Here you will find ways to create a baby book from simple ideas you can do at home to professional customized baby books. I really wanted to create a baby book but found it so hard to find the right solution for me as there were so many options. In the end I created the book of my dreams with Picaboo.

Enjoy and get creative. When you create a baby book you are proud of send us your ideas and creations we'd love to include them on our site.

Here are the steps to making a book for your baby.

It is a simple idea and anyone can make at home. I can almost promise it will be very loved by your baby. This book is hard wearing and one that your baby can handle over and over.

I made this book for my son Jamie when he was a baby and I can't count how many times we have read it and it is still going strong!
