Quiet Book

I stumbled upon this blog the other day and found...

Creating by Cami

She has great ideas for kid's crafts among many other creative projects.  When I got to this post about her 
QUIET BOOKS for kids, I wanted to drop everything and make one right then!  Seriously, it looks so fun and I would have had so much fun as a kid with one of these. 

I hope to get around to making one someday...before the kids are teenagers! 

Check it out! Here are just a few ideas for the quiet book she made...

Mix and match felt outfits...

Hang the laundry on the line...

(my favorite)

Weave the cherry pie...

Barrettes are in the little bag...

Button on the flowers...

Counting...

These are just a few!

Nap Mat Cover

Never did I think I'd be making a nap mat cover but I recently found myself in front of my sewing maching until the wee hours of the morning assembling this glorified pillowcase!  I saw a few online but wanted to mix my own creative twist into the design.  Yup, that ended up costing me a few extra hours!  The extra time was spent planning measurements.  So, to do it again would not take me nearly as long.  NOT that I plan on making another nap map cover any time soon!

Here is a link to the free tutorial of which I based my own nap mat.  It has an attached blanket which I think is a great idea!  However, I chose not to attach a matching blanket due to cubby space issues. 

To keep the nap mat inside the cover, I used a strip of velcro just inside the hem. 
Or, you can always buy one on Etsy!  There are several different sellers and they make them with or without pillows and blankets attached.   

Here is the final product:
