On Sunday, June 12, my three year old, David, (I'm his permanent legal guardian--long, complicated story.....sigh) will be baptized. My 12 and 7 y.o. dd's want to make him a Baptism Book. We bought a white album at the scrapbook store and have some gold lettering. We plan a page welcoming him into the Church, a bit about his patron, a page for godparents, pages for photos,narrations they have done relating the story of Noah's Ark and the Israelites crossing the Red Sea as pre-figures of Baptism, Christ's Baptism by St. John, etc....and would like to flesh this out as a study on Baptism for the girls. Has anyone done this? Any suggestions for a place to find clip art or cool Baptism-related pictures on the web? They are excited to make this and give it to him as their gift. Such sweet girls!

What a beautiful idea! I will try to remember this if we have any more additions to the family. I know my kiddos would love to put something like this together for a new baby.

This is such an incredible idea. What a keepsake for David--and what a learning experience for them. Here is a link to some clip art you might be able to use. Two Hearts Design is another nice resource. If I find anything else, I will let you know.

Thanks, Alice, for the links. We are having such fun with this project. I highly recommend it to all for your next baby, or friend's baby--any excuse!! Jane and Anne are so excited and this really will be a lovely rememberance book for David to keep. Annie, age 7, said that maybe someday David's children could learn about Baptism from his book. javascript:AddSmileyIcon('

Oooh, how I would love to do it for a "next" baby. Maybe you could keep that intention in your prayers!
