HALLOWEEN QUIET BOOK PAGES

When I started to make this Quiet Book for my son, my original idea was to make a book that he can play with anytime. But as Halloween is approaching, I decided that I would like to make pages for all of the holidays that I could add and take out accordingly.  So I have been coming up with tons of ideas for Halloween/Autumn pages for Colt's Quiet Book. Last night, I completed my first two Halloween pages and here they are.

CREATE A JACK-O-LANTERN PAGE
(The face pieces are stored in the fabric pouch.
This is a felt board page.)

PUMPKIN PATCH PAGE
(Pick and place pumpkins in the pumpkin
patch using velcro)

QUIET BOOK - PART TWO

I have been so busy with birthdays, relatives visiting, and completing tons of Halloween crafts and decorating that I have been neglecting my Quiet Book pages. I recently completed a few pages and figured that I would sit down and post them since it has been a while.

Here are my new pages:

SKIING PAGE
(The skier slides up and down the slope)

TIC TAC SCORE PAGE
(My hubby is obsessed with sports and he wants
my son to be too, so I thought that using footballs and
baseballs would be a cute spin on the traditional game.

FRUIT MATCH PAGE
(Match the fruit using the ribbons with velcro to
connect them.)

HANG THE LAUNDRY PAGE
(Hang the clothes on the line using the mini clothes
pins. Clothing pieces store in the laundry basket.)

**Again I do ask that if you choose to copy any of my pages for personal use, that you give credit where credit is due and link back to my page. I work hard to come up with ideas and to make my pages look great, and while I don't mind if people use my pages for inspiration, please don't pass the ideas off as your own. 

AUTUMN TREE PICTURE

I love having different activities for my son to do during the week so that he's learning and playing at the same time.  And to be honest it gives me a chance to have him sit still for a few minutes so that I can do the dishes, vacuum or get a load of laundry done. I also love that I always have something he created to hang on my fridge. :) I want to give him something to make that had to do with Autumn so I thought what says Fall better than a tree with different colored leaves?!

All I did was take a piece of brown construction paper and cut out the shape of a tree trunk and branches. I glued them onto a piece of white construction paper so that the bare tree was already on the paper.  Then I just took some strips of red, orange, yellow, and green construction paper and ripped them into little squares for the leaves.

I just took a glue stick and place a little glue on each piece of colored paper and let him stick the "leaves" onto the tree.  He loved decorating the tree. 

I think he did an awesome job and the cutest part is that he placed a lot of the leaves down by the bottom of the tree or down below the branches so it looks like falling leaves. 

Lastly, as I do with all of Colton's art work, I wrote his name, age, and date on the back and laminated it.  Now I have an adorable fall picture for our fridge :)
