This is a really cool notebook idea.  Does your child not like to write for a full page?  Mine doesn’t!

So, I tricked them into writing by buying smaller journals.  They still write one page, but it is a small page.

This CD notebook does the same thing.  Make the notebook and have your child write on each page.  Be sure they fill up a full page.  They won’t mind because it is much smaller than a piece of notebook paper.

Here are the simple directions to the CD Holder Mini Album
