A friend of ours has a sick daughter at home with a suspected case of the swine flu – thank goodness she is ok but her camp is making her stay home for a week to make sure she doesn’t spread it around.

So we were looking for something to “pop in” and drop off to help pass the time – and decided on Create Your Own Pop-Up Books. My daughter Maya received this earlier this year as a 5 year old birthday gift. The kit comes with two blank hardcover books, stickers, markers, cut outs for the “pop up” pieces and ideas/suggestions for how to use them.

Thank goodness it came with two books – my 7 year old son Josh had his eye on it and luckily Maya was feeling generous and shared one. Maya wrote a book about “My Family,” complete with information about the author up in the front – very cute! Josh wrote a book about his soccer team and their various victories. They will keep these forever – and the books are high quality so they will last. Both kids are very proud of their publications and like to show their friends when they come over for a visit.

So if you need a great gift for a 5, 6, or 7 year old, Create Your Own Pop-Up Books is a memorable choice.
