Suggestions for a Walt Disney project?

[stevo505]

For my English class, we have to put together a scrapbook as if it were made by the person we're researching. I chose Walt Disney... I am having trouble coming up with ideas for souvenirs that he may have collected throughout his lifetime. These have to be real objects, not photos.

So far I have:
A Disneyland PeopleMover pin that looks like it could be from Walt's Time
A Disneyland honorary citizen button
Sketches of an early Mickey Mouse
A Goofy watch

I'm debating over what I should use. I need 3 more to fill the quota of seven souvenirs needed. I am thinking of using the D23 replica Holiday greeting card and the 1959 submarine patch but I am not sure if I want to use those and risk something happening to them. So, any suggestions?

I did that exact thing three years ago! The whole Disney scrapbook thing. Not the sovenirs.

Walt drew with tar on the side of his house when he was a kid, and on toilet paper because his family could not afford paper. Maybe draw Ozwald the Lucky Rabbit on toilet paper? haha
Maybe something that resembles France? He was stationed with the red cross or something like that.
How about a Pen? He drew with those.

I hope that helps. If not, here is what I did for my project. haha

My 'scrapbook' thing had to be from the 1920's era. I drew pictures of Oswald on pieces of notebook paper, labeled them like I was Walt, then CRUMPLED them up and let them soak in water for 24 hours. After that, I CAREFULLY unfolded them, and let it air dry. It makes it look aged. Be careful with then pen/pencil type though.
I also made old 'storyboards' from Steamboat Willy and put them in the project, as well as 'hand written aged' letters from Walt to his wife... Idk. Little things like that. It was like a memory scrap book... Idk, haha


I hope that helps!
