Homemade Gift Idea: DIY Storytime Video

December 16, 2011 by Kimberly Danger 4 Comments

holiday gift idea diy storytime videoIf you’ve got little cousins that live far away like we do, this is a great way for them to see your faces and voices as often as they’d like.  Plus, since you likely have most of the things to create this gift already in your own home, it costs next to nothing to make.

What we did is grab a few of our favorite books from our bookshelves that we no longer read; but thought the cousins would like.  Next, we used our digital camera to shoot a video of the kids reading the stories aloud.  Burn the DVD on your computer, and wrap up along with the books.  You’ve got an extremely personal gift idea for next to nothing!
