Frog Prince Counting Quiet Page

So.... I know it has been like a year or so since I posted on my blog. Funny how having a toddler to run after changes your priorities. But, I have been seeing all these neat felt quiet book patterns online and I came up with a very simple one of my own that I thought I would share.

It all started when my sister-in-law was having a monkey themed baby shower... I bought some really cute felt 3-D sticker packs that had monkeys in them, and there happened to be frogs as well. I got them at Joann's here if you want some. At the time I had no idea what I would do with the frogs, but slowly I developed an idea. So many moms post blogs about the fun little activities they are making for their children to play with and learn with quietly, which gave me the idea of using the stickers for an activity page for a quiet book or a busy bag...I haven't decided yet...

Anyway, I had 10 frog stickers and that just happens to be a great counting number. So, I decided to make little felt crowns for each of the frogs with 1-10 numerals on them and then on the backs of the stickers I put dots for each corresponding number. So when E is a little older and learning numbers he can match up the frogs with the right crown. (As a side note, this would be a really cute page in a princess quiet book).


It's not very complicated but I thought it was cute and wanted to share. :)
