Brassy Apple made this I Spy Book as part of her self-hosted “creativity for the car” summer craft challenge. It’s such a simple idea, but one that the kids will love!  You can see how she made it, plus check out what others have made for the car, right here!

Quiet books are a great way to keep the kids entertained when you need a few minutes of, well, quiet! I can think of several occasions when one of these books would have come in handy! Here are just a few of the pages found at Naptime Journal Creations. Click here to see more of her pages and read about her many sources of inspiration!

I LOVE Party Perfect’s version of a child’s first word book. The simple photography paired with the Scrabble tile words is just perfect! She had her book printed and bound, but a more affordable option could be to have your photos printed at a photo lab (or on a home photo printer) and use a small photo album to hold the pics!

These shirts look like so much fun to make! Make them for your kids, or with your kids…either way they’re sure to be a hit! This Vintage Chica has the details.

Playful Learning used a twig to add a natural element to the blank books she made. Such a lovely book just waiting for little hands to add their own personalities to it. Click here for the tutorial!

Ramblings of a Crazy Woman shows how she made this perfectly simple activity using popsicle sticks and a binder. Great for letters, shapes, and whatever else a child’s imagination can come up with! Plus, having the supplies in the binder makes for a handy-dandy take-along activity.

Kristena’s eye for pretty can be seen in everything she touches, including this reuse of Little Golden Books. I’m planning on borrowing this idea for my girls’ room and I already have the pictures picked out! For older kids, who might be a smidge pickier about what gets hung on their walls, consider using the cover art from their favorite books. Visit Thimbly Things for the details on this little lovely!
