How to make it
1Fold the booklet
Stack the paper with the cardstock on the outside. Fold it in half to make a 20-page booklet.
2Bind it
Staple twice along the fold, or punch 2 holes and tie a ribbon.
3Write the questions
Write one question at the top of each page: What was your first job? What did you do for fun? What was your house like?
4Hold the interview
The grandchild reads each question out loud. You answer while they write or draw.
5Add pictures
Draw pictures or glue in small photos next to the answers.
6Decorate the cover
Write a title like "Grandma's Story, as told to Lily" with the date.
Let the grandchild record the interview on a phone too. Your voice telling the story will mean a lot to them later.
