Quiet Time Activities

I started doing quiet time activities again for C.
She started 4K 2 weeks ago and needs some quiet time to herself in the afternoon.

 

1. Art Dice
2. Cards she enjoys looking at (for sorting or reading the words)

3. Zoo animal foam beads for sorting by size
4. Number magnets
5. A personalized puzzle she recently received as a gift, (her name is blacked out for the picture --  puzzle from here if interested)

 6. A peg actvitiy

7. ABC sticker upper/lowercase match

8. Make faces using pieces cut from magazines and various sizes of lids 

9. Viewmaster

10. Spell family names with beads on pipe cleaners

I use these drawers for storing the items.
I did not pay that much for them though!!

 I made these a long time ago, I made 1 set for every letter of the alphabet using a variety of colors. They are supposed to be double Popsicle sticks. On one side is the lower case letter on one and the upper case letter on the other. On the other side is a picture that starts with that letter on one and the upper case letter on the other. C really wanted to play with this when we came across it in my collection, so I decided to add it to her quiet box.

Quiet Box #2

It has been pretty busy around our house - I filled in for a teacher at my old job for a full week, J had a birthday(!) and just the every day busyness of having 2 young children. We haven't had to get the quiet box out for a week or so, but I was able to get some pictures of another one.

I had these ball erasers and printed a sheet so she can match which sporting equipment the ball goes with

Pipe cleaner sorting (using an old Pringles container)

Foam number puzzles

ABC Stencil with paper and pencil

M&M Dominoes

I made this for my classroom one year as a game.  I put it in the quiet box so C can name and sort the shapes. (I think the game was played by putting all the cards in a pail, which was passed around during circle time. Each child had to pick a card and say what the shape was. If they drew the card with all the shapes everyone had to put their cards back in? I think? Something like that) I have a colors version too.
