Quiet Book: sandwich making page



This is the last page. It has a plate and glass, as well as pockets to hold all the sandwich fixings. He can make pb&j, or any combination he can think of with ham, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion. He usually puts everything on. The drink is also double sided, so he can choose between juice and milk. 


Quiet Book: catching lightning bugs


I loved catching lightning bugs when I was a kid. This is a fun page where Luke can "catch" the lightning bugs and collect them in the mason jar. 


Quiet Book: rainbow page



Luke is two, so he can't really the names of the colors quite yet, but he can match them by the color of the thread. He loves rainbows and has gotten pretty good at matching the little clouds with the right color on the rainbow.


Quiet book: fish matching page


This page is a simple matching activity with fish the same shape but different colors. The tail end snaps off and can be mixed and matched with the other fish. 


Quiet book: Dinosaurs



This page is just for fun. The dinosaurs snap on and off and can be played with in their little scene. I got design inspiration from the blog Serving Pink Lemonade and her dinosaur play mat. 


Quiet book: bee and flowers threading page



This page is to practice threading. The little bee flies from flower to flower before heading home to his hive. Many thanks to Imagine Our Life for sharing her lovely design for this page! I modified it a bit by only making 5 flowers instead of 10, and by drawing my own flowers. I also made the bee out of felt instead of beads. 

Quiet book: garden page


This page has so many little pieces! The carrots and beets can be planted, or picked and put in the basket. The tomatoes can be snapped on and off. There is also a surprise hiding in the grass!
