Link page for Quiet Books

I have done several posts on the topic of Quiet Books, and then I have trouble finding them all again - let alone the trouble anyone else would have. So this post simply gives you links to all of them in one easy place!

Superheroes and abacus

Mr Potato Head and breakfast

Bee Garden Counting Game  / Tic Tac Toe / Weaving

Road scenes and pizza counting

Mainly laundry

Lots of pictures, and how to make double page spreads

Things to take account of in designing Quiet Books, and more pictures and links

There's a long list of Quiet Book Pages I wish I'd had time to make. Many of these came from Imagine our Life. Here are just some of the many things I never got round to making.

A train with circus animals
An airport with planes and helicopters taking off
Active pages with zips, shoes to button or lace or Velcro closed, girls with hair to plait
A paint palette with coloured paints to match
Icecream or birthday cake making
Fire engines, or dumper trucks and road works
A dinosaur page
A felt paper chain
Jigsaws or Tetris - lovely igloo ones!
Numbered cupcakes to bake in an oven
Sea scenes with fish, octopus etc (I could have redeployed some of my finger puppets!)
Market stalls (or vegetable rows) with vegetables and a basket to go shopping, or an apple tree to pick apples
Animals that go in a zoo or barn or farmyard or Noah's Ark (more use for finger puppets)
A maze (e.g. Angry Birds maze)
A pirate Island with a map and treasure
Weather (sun, rain etc). 
The Solar System .....

Imagine our Life also now has a lovely recycling 3 page set, which could be a lot of fun, as well as teaching good habits and what can be recycled.


Really, the possibilities are endless. But sadly, life is too short to do everything you want to!  I do though recommend you look at the web sites I've linked to here and in my posts, there is such a wealth of imaginative ideas.
