Caden’s Activity Book!

Pinterest is my favorite.  It’s amazing how many ideas are out there.  This one I had to create right away!

It’s called the quiet book.  I made it for Caden to use when we go to restaurants, however we haven’t been going out to eat so he plays with it at home.

I created a cute little cover with some scrapbook stickers and just slid it in the front of a binder.

The genius part about this book is that you put your activity sheets in page protectors and let your little artists use dry erase crayons (or markers) to color! Again, and again and again!  Saving you lots of paper and ink Winking smile  I prefer Caden to use the crayons because I can let him do his own thing and not have to supervise him like I would with the markers!  Of course he prefers markers because they draw a lot smoother than crayons but he gets marker not only on the book but everywhere else too Smile

Since it’s fall I filled his pages with fall/halloween activities!  I’m a big fan of these pre-school packs!  Lots of great printables!

Caden is not a fan of these prewriting practice pages because he cant quite trace the lines yet but that’s the point, to practice!

He can point out the differences on most lines! it’s so cute when I ask him a question and he says “ummm this one?”

I found this Halloween printable pack here at Over the big moon

I also added this magnet page with a farm scene so Caden could play with his farm animal magnets.

I just bought magnet sheets from walmart and stuck it on construction paper and printed a farm scene I found online to slide over top!

I also put some baseball card pages in the back to keep his magnets! He likes to slide them in and out of their pockets.

So there you have it! Caden’s activity book.  I highly recommend you make one! There’s so many possibilities with this.  I look forward to switching out the printables for each season Smile
