CoolCanucks Blog Contest ~ Board Book Albums, LLC Giveaway! CLOSED

 

 

 

If you are any­thing like me, you are usu­ally com­pletely dis­or­ga­nized, espe­cially when it comes to pho­tographs! I am guilty of hav­ing draw­ers full of loose pic­tures every­where, and not care­fully tucked away in a pretty album like most peo­ple. I often think of buy­ing more albums to keep my mem­o­ries stored away neatly, but it usu­ally slips my mind like every­thing else.

We often travel, and I have 1000’s of pho­tos that need to be put into albums and neatly cat­e­go­rized, I admit it. I also have a huge fam­ily, and tons of my nieces and nephews are con­tin­u­ally hav­ing babies, which cre­ates more pic­tures and fan­tas­tic mem­o­ries. Thank Heav­ens for Board Book Albums!

 

 

Board Book Albums, LLC are Dec­o­ra­tive Photo Albums for both Kids and adults. These chunky board book style photo albums are excel­lent for even babies to hold onto and they can view their own pic­tures over and over again by sim­ply turn­ing the pages!
They have thick rigid pages that won’t bend or tear, so they’re per­fect for kids to handle!

Kids LOVE pho­tographs of them­selves and their world — The Take Your Pix photo board books are just per­fect for that!
What a fun gift to give an expec­tant mom, before or after the baby arrives!! Chil­dren love pho­tos and will often look at pho­tos over and over, espe­cially the ones of them­selves as a baby.

 

Laura Miranti, the founder of Board Book Albums, tells the story of her great inven­tion in these albums:

“In Jan­u­ary 2007, when my daugh­ter Lucia was a year old, we real­ized that she was some­what behind her peers in meet­ing cer­tain devel­op­men­tal mile­stones. We began hav­ing reg­u­lar ses­sions with a phys­i­cal ther­a­pist and an early learn­ing spe­cial­ist. It was amaz­ing to see how much progress Lucia made very quickly! By age 2, she began walk­ing well and try­ing to say lots of words. In order to encour­age her speech devel­op­ment, the early learn­ing spe­cial­ist (who is like a speech ther­a­pist, but works with chil­dren before they begin to talk) sug­gested that I find Lucia a photo album to fill with pho­tos of her fam­ily, toys, and other famil­iar objects in her world. When I was unable to find a kid-friendly photo album, I came up with the idea to cre­ate a board book photo album. This album has been a won­der­ful learn­ing tool for Lucia. She loves to turn the pages and look at pho­tos of her fam­ily, toys, and other famil­iar objects in her world. Stud­ies have shown that young chil­dren only have object recog­ni­tion with pho­tos. This means that before the age of two, they can not relate a draw­ing of an object with the actual object, but they can relate a photo of the object with the actual object.”

 

 

 

One sug­ges­tion which would make a fan­tas­tic baby shower gift is to pur­chase sev­eral albums and dec­o­rate them but leave the pho­tos for mom to add through­out the year. Each album could mark a spe­cial mile­stone or col­lec­tion like “First Christ­mas”, “Me and my Dad”, “I love my Nana and Papa”, “First Trip to the Beach”, etc. Often moms are over­whelmed with tak­ing care of the baby the first year and although many pic­tures are taken, few actu­ally make it into albums. This would be a won­der­ful gift — pre-organized, dec­o­rated and a won­der­ful col­lec­tion of memories!!
