While looking on Pinterest my
coworkers and I found several different quiet books for young children. These
books were either too expensive to buy or too difficult to make. Most of the
pages I was finding needed a sewing machine and a bunch of fabric. I decided to
make this counting page (shown below).
- I got five pipe cleaners and cut them in half.
- Then I got beads for each one. (Counting one to ten) I put them in a pattern but they could be attached however you want to. Since the children that will be using this are from ages two to five and using it multiple times I made sure to secure them down on the paper.
- I took tacky glue and glued each end of the ten pipe cleaners over the ends.
- I then took scotch tape and went over the ends of the pipe cleaners.
- I then cut three pieces of paper to go over the tops and the bottoms of the pipe cleaners.
- I glued these on with tacky glue and then glued numbers one to ten and the word counting onto the page.
- Finally once it was completely dried I pulled on each pipe cleaner to make sure it was sturdy enough.
