Planning a trip to Disneyland? Make everyone their own autograph book with printable kid activities. Below is the complete tutorial.
Do you have a Disney vacation coming up? We are leaving for our California vacation in just 2 days!! We are all so excited and can't wait for all of the adventures that are ahead.

Handmade Autograph Book:
Begin by cutting several different colors of 8.5 x 11 cardstock, into quarters. This will leave you with pages that measure 4.25 x 5.5 inches. I added about 15 of these pages in each book so there would be plenty of pages for autographs. But you could do more or less.
For the printables, I searched the internet for free printables with themes of where we were going. At the time, printables weren't as popular as they are now, so I actually had a hard time finding them. But now we have lots of printables available to print and many are even Disney-themed which would be perfect for this type of autograph book!
When printing, make sure to size them down so they will fit the 4.25 x 5.5 size books.
To create the front and back cover, cut 2 pieces of chipboard that measure 4.5 x 5.75 inches. Cover both sides with some patterned paper and double-sided tape.
For the front cover, cut their name out of cardstock using your Cricut, and apply some fun stickers. Each of the covers for my kid's books is personalized with their favorite Disney character.
To bind the books use the Cinch tool and some binding wire.
The books came together pretty quickly and I am so excited to give them to my kids. They will be a fun keepsake to remind them of this family trip.
But, I couldn't let the kids have all of the fun! I made one for me too.
