Wesley's Activity Book

I've been thinking about making Wes an activity book since his birthday, but never did more than think about it. But last month I was at Chrissy's mom's house and she got out an old activity book from when we were kids that her grandkids (Cody included!) now love. And I decided I just had to make one, with my mom's help of course! And since we were gearing up for our trip to Orlando (we leave tomorrow morning!) I thought it would be the perfect thing to keep Wes occupied on the airplane, at least for a few minutes. :)

I took pictures of Carol's activity book and used this website to help me with my ideas. But we pretty much had to start from scratch making all the patterns.

Here's Wes getting a preview of the shapes page.

And here's the finished product!!! We didn't get to all the pages we plan on making, but it will be perfect for the plane and he'll definitely grow into the activities.

Button the flowers onto the stems

Snap the Jack-o-Lantern's face into place

Count the numbers

Match the shapes

Unsnap the car from it's garage and drive it on the road

Velcro the lights onto the traffic signal

Unzip the teepee

Weave the blanket

Open the coin purse, count the money and save it in the piggy bank

Draw a picture

Lace the football

Tie the teddy bear's bow

My mom and I had lots of fun working on this together and we know Wes will love it too!
