Do you have a little one that can’t stand sitting in a
restaurant for the whole meal? Have you
ever had to drag a toddler or preschooler to a doctor’s appointment and then
sat and waited in the waiting room for what felt like an eternity?
Here is a great tool for you! The busy book. I love to restock it with things my girls
have never seen and the best part is it costs next to nothing! You just need a three ring binder! I also put in a zippered pencil bag and include crayons, scissors and a glue stick. Another trick is to keep some ziplock baggies tucked into the pocked to put trash in if you are brave and let them cut. Here are some great resources for sites to
print out pages to fill it! 
Another great site is
http://beyondthebackpack.nickjr.com/ If you have a preschooler take this quiz to
get customized games and printables to help get them ready for Kindergarten! You can also print other printable pages for
Nick Jr. characters here http://www.nickjr.com/printables/all-shows/all-themes/all-ages/index.jhtml
I have included the file I used to make my cover page. My 4 year old needs lots of encouragement to
not quit and when I saw this amazing kit by Wendy I knew it was the perfect one
for her book. I love the quotes like
this one on the cover “There is nothing on this earth that makes me happier
than you!” I want to also make some
little encouraging dividers to put every few pages with more of the encouraging
phrases just to reinforce that she is what makes me happy not cutting straight
lines or coloring perfectly.
