Grandparent's Brag Book

Every Sunday after church your mom pulls out her phone to show off the grandkids, and her friends squint at one fuzzy photo after another. This Christmas you would like to hand her something she can pass down the pew.

The Brag Book is a fill-in book for a grandparent to carry, show and refill: one place for everything about the grandchildren that is worth showing off, with room for photos, handprints, drawings and the funny things they say. It replaces a phone full of blurry pictures with a book that can be passed around at church, at a party or across the kitchen table. Give it at Christmas, for Grandparents Day or for a grandparent's birthday.

What is inside (28 pages, US Letter, prints on A4 too):
- Page 1: cover with a photo arch.
- Page 2: a gift page: who it is for, who it is from, and why.
- Page 3: how to fill it in.
- Page 4: the family tree: a box with two lines for the grandparents, three child boxes with two lines each for a child and partner, and four grandchild boxes grouped under each child's own box, with lines at the bottom for anyone else. For a fourth child, or more than four grandchildren under one child, print the page again.
- Pages 5 to 20: four pages for each of four grandchildren. "Meet me" has a 3 by 4 inch photo box, name, age, birthday and favorites. "Trace my hand" is a full page with a 7 by 8.75 inch box. "What I say about you" has four fill-in lines and a speech bubble. "A picture for you" is a 7 by 6.3 inch drawing frame. Each tab has a cream box for the grandchild's name; print pages 5 to 8 again for each extra grandchild.
- Page 21: what we do together. Page 22: a day together. Page 23: a 6.4 by 4.8 inch box for a photo of everyone.
- Page 24: things they said. Page 25: special days on the calendar.
- Pages 26 and 27: a year-update page to print again for each grandchild, each year.
- Page 28: a note for you, with lines and a drawing box, for the grandchildren to fill.

Print at 100 percent on plain paper or light cardstock. A grown-up helps a small child write, and the child draws and traces. Punch the pages for a binder or clip them together, and add new update pages every year.
